Waste Management India: The porcess of waste management in India is a lot different than that in the developed world. The following article give you a brief about how waste management in India is carried out.
1) A single person collects waste from 300 houses on a manual rickshaw
2) On a average this waste weighs between 150-200 kg’s
3) Waste has to be segregated manually since it is all mixed
4) On a average 20% is recyclable, 15% Inert & 65% organic
5) The waste collector is only concerned about the 20% of recyclables
6) On a average 70-80% of the waste is taken to the landfill site
Did you know that your RWA charges the local waste collector a monthly fee to collect your waste!! This could average anywhere between Rupees 2000-20000 a month depending on the size of the colony.
Can we not afford to pay rupees 100 a month to get our waste collected!!! Or are we just used to living in filth and passing the buck on to the government!!
Wake up and take the initiative to clean your colony and its surroundings, up lift the workers working in the waste industry, and change the mind sets of the citizens of our country by leading the clean Indian movement in your community.

Could you be a bit more specific in your call to action? What exactly do I have to do to clean up the colony? Do I assemble the local waste collectors? Do I educate the community about segregation of organic v. inorganic waste prior to collection (compost)? How do I do it?
Thank you.
