For successful Waste Segregation
by Prof. Bhushan Manchanda
For the second year in a row, the ARWA Team of Sec A Pocket C has been awarded and recognized by MCD as one of the best Colony blocks for its contribution to 100% Waste Segregation.
Last year the ARWA team had started the waste segregation drive after collaborating with ITC WOW, SSIL and the Swacchta Ambassador Ameena Talwar Secy General, Federation of RWAs of Vasant Kunj.
Various Awareness Drives were organized last year and all these efforts have borne fruit with the honour and award received from MCD this year.
“Mr.Prateek Pathak, President, ARWA received the Award from Dr.Ankita Chakravarti, DC, South Zone, MCD. Given here is the photograph of the ARWA Executive Committee Team members with the Safai Karamcharis whose contribution in this initiative has been outstanding.”
It is being ensured that this Waste Segregation Drive is maintained throughout the year by way of the following:
- Waste is segregated at source at home itself. Family members and household help being counselled accordingly.
- No mixing to be done by the Garbage Collector and at the MCD Tipper point. The segregated garbage is always being carried separately.
- Residents being counselled to try composting at source to reduce wet waste going to the landfill.
ARWA Team is now committed to the next level of Waste Management ie. Community level wet waste composting options to be implemented in the coming months.
