Noida Village Goes Zero-Waste
6 Feb
Summary
- Door-to-door garbage collection launched in Badalpur village.
- Waste will be segregated at a local facility for recycling.
- Greater Noida faces challenges with 500 tonnes of daily waste.
Greater Noida's Badalpur village is now part of an ambitious program to achieve zero-waste status. The Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA), in partnership with an NGO, has extended its door-to-door garbage collection service to the village.
This initiative aims to eliminate the practice of open dumping, which was common before the program's inception. Waste collected from households will now be managed systematically, significantly improving cleanliness and sanitation within the village.
Dry waste collected will undergo segregation at a dedicated material recovery facility within the village. This process is designed to recycle waste and reduce the overall volume, facilitating the production of new items.
Feedback Foundation, the NGO involved, employs a community engagement approach to encourage residents in participating in waste segregation. This public participation is deemed crucial for realizing the zero-waste goal.
Greater Noida faces substantial waste management challenges, generating approximately 500 tonnes of solid waste daily. This waste is currently directed to a dumpsite in Lakhnawali village, which already contains large amounts of untreated legacy waste.
