Malkajgiri Adopts 4-Bin Waste System
22 Sep
Summary
- Four bins now required for household waste segregation.
- Special focus on processing flower waste into organic products.
- Public urged to use special collection centers for immersion waste.
The Malkajgiri Municipal Corporation has initiated a significant push towards enhanced waste management with the launch of its "4-bin segregation campaign." This program, which commenced on Tuesday, aims to instill a rigorous system of waste segregation at the source for all households.
The campaign aligns with the recently adopted Solid Waste Management Rules 2026 and directives from the Supreme Court. It mandates the use of four specific bins: green for wet waste, blue for dry waste, red for hygiene-related items like diapers, and black for hazardous materials such as old medicines and batteries.
In addition to household waste, a dedicated program has been introduced to process flower waste separately. This initiative seeks to transform discarded flowers into valuable organic products. To bolster public understanding and participation, publicity vehicles equipped with LED screens have been deployed.
These vehicles will tour Ganesh immersion sites, disseminating vital information on the four-bin segregation system, flower waste management, and broader environmental protection efforts. The Commissioner has specifically appealed to the public to deposit immersion waste at designated special collection centers rather than disposing of it indiscriminately.
