Noida Segregates Waste: New Workshops Aim for Cleanliness
2 Apr
Summary
- Workshops are being conducted across parks to sensitize residents on waste segregation.
- Wet waste will be composted within each ward using 26 planned composting units.
- Households must segregate waste into four categories, with penalties for non-compliance.
Noida's Arun Vihar sector is implementing a phased approach to enhance waste segregation, beginning with awareness workshops. These sessions are targeting residents, domestic workers, and sanitation staff across community spaces. The initiative aims to address issues of mixed waste collection, which previously led to increased landfill burden.
Central to the new system is the composting of wet waste within each ward. The Residents Welfare Association plans to install 26 composting units to establish a replicable model for other Noida sectors. Households will be mandated to segregate waste into four distinct categories: wet waste, dry recyclable waste, sanitary waste, and domestic hazardous waste, each requiring a separate bin.
The association has warned of penalties for residents who do not comply with the new segregation rules. Awareness sessions and staff training are currently underway, with the full system expected to roll out in the coming days. This drive emphasizes making waste segregation a core civic responsibility among the community.
