Dear Residents, let us also separate plastic to reduce pollution. It has been observed that a plastic collection van (an NGOs initiative) comes to F-Block Sector 50 in our lane every Saturday, 1st half, and some of our residents keep their plastic waste at the gate which the van picks up. We appreciate this and wish that more and more residents give away their plastic waste every week separately to the collection van.
As we know, plastic is a major pollutant, we should take proactive steps to get it recycled appropriately. For this, these simple steps need to be taken:
(a) Keep 3 separate bins in your house for — 1. Paper, 2. Organic peels, etc. 3. Plastic
(b) Segregate at source: All family members should be requested to throw the waste in the respective 3 bins — paper, dry dust, sharpenings, etc. in bin 1; wet peels, food waste, etc. in bin 2; and only plastic i.e. milk panni, curd panni (washed and dried), grocery panni, big and small plastic containers and many more objects made of plastic in bin 3.
(c) Give away bin 1 and 2 every day to housekeeping staff.
d) Keep the plastic waste of bin 3 outside Society gate every Saturday by 9.00 am.
Many F-block Apartments of Sector 50 are doing this regularly for the past 2, 3 years.
Hope we are segregating plastic waste separately. Things like milk curd panni, all sorts of wrapper, bottles, paste and medicine tubes and any plastic for that matter do not decompose for hundreds of years if we mix them with sookha kachra.
So let us responsibly separate plastic waste at our homes.
