Where does all the garbage go?

Ever wondered where the garbage from your homes go? Did you know that hyderabad generates more than 3500 tonnes of garbage PER DAY? yes u must have seen dumpyards and sighed and tched away...and said " Oh well this is India!" but what have u an educated Indian/hyderabadi done to combat this problem? How many of us segregate waste? We take part in campaigns against global warming, which create awareness about environmental issues but when it comes to our own waste we just refuse to be associated with it. why should the municipality be responsible for your waste? Waste can be divided into dry and wet waste. dry waste generally includes the waste that cannot be recylcled and wet waste includes organic waste that can be converted into compost. all that one needs to do is separate the waste at the source level. Sukuki exnora an ngo in SWM has come up with an innovative idea of segregating and using waste. If it is implemented in localities across the city, we can expect a dust bin free society which means no dumpyards. The plan is simple. segregate ur waste. people would collect it from ur homes and make compost out of the organic waste and send the non biodegradable waste to companies. Its not difficult to implement, but wat is difficult is getting the people to cooperate. people just dont care! this is a fact! People think the municipality is responsible for their waste. FYI the municipality doesnt have a magic wand and the waste doesnt simply disappear into thin air! Visit a dumpyard and you will know what i am talking about. At one end is unchecked infrastructural growth and concretisation of our communities and cities and at the other end no proper solid waste management plan in place. This is a question for all the people working in MNC's out there- have u ever wondered how much waste your office might generate per day? try and find out. for your next CSR programme get involved in managing waste from your own offices and homes-after all charity begins at home. MNCs have an advantage- they have visibility, they have team spirit and they certainly do have dynamic spirited young leaders so why not tie up with ngos and manage ur waste? Maybe ur next team visit could be to the jawarharnagar dumping yard!
Solutions are plenty but people who cooperate are far and few in between!
