Prayagraj Upgrades to 4 Bins for Superb Waste Segregation
5 Oct
Summary
- Prayagraj shifts to a four-colour bin system for waste management.
- New bins target organic, recyclable, sanitary, and hazardous waste.
- Initiative aims for Prayagraj to achieve 'Clean Model City' status.
Prayagraj is set to elevate its waste management infrastructure to achieve 'Clean Model City' status. The Municipal Corporation plans to transition from a two-bin system to a comprehensive four-colour bin arrangement to significantly improve waste segregation at the source.
This strategic upgrade aligns with the national Swachh Bharat Mission's goal of developing 50 Clean Model Cities across India. Prayagraj, along with five other Uttar Pradesh cities, is included in this ambitious initiative.
The new system designates specific bins for different waste types. Green bins are for organic waste, suitable for composting. Blue bins will collect recyclable dry waste like plastics and paper. Red bins are designated for sanitary waste, while black bins will manage hazardous domestic materials such as batteries.
The civic body is actively seeking input from residents and corporators through online platforms to enhance waste collection, transportation, and scientific disposal services. Currently, the city generates approximately 540 tonnes of garbage daily, processed at the Baswar plant.
