Household waste management in Bangalore

Disposing the waste in proper manner

Not many of us follow proper manner of disposing household wastes. The civic authorities in Bangalore have now issued a few guidelines to the residents to dispose their household wastes.

To help our city to get rid of the garbage, we have to start managing the waste right from our home. Let’s segregate the waste and dispose it in a proper manner. 

As a responsible citizen, we shouldn’t have waited until the authorities issue a guideline to dispose of our household wastes.

After Bangalore witnessed the great garbage dumping crisis, the authorities have now issued the guidelines to the general public on the ways to dispose of the garbage.  

The guideline which is expected to be followed very strictly is applicable for all those reside in Bangalore.

Following are the guidelines provided by the BBMP – Bangalore to dispose the wastes from your household?

• Segregate the waste. For example dry waste and wet waste
• Do not use plastic cover to dispose the waste
• Dispose wet wastes every day
• Wrap the sanitary wastes in an old newspaper and mark ‘X’ in red color
• Do not throw waste in public places 

You will have to segregate the waste into wet waste, dry waste, garden waste, rubbish, sanitary waste household hazardous waste.

The waste collector who visits your premises every day will accept only wet waste and sanitary wastes. Make sure that you dispose it off without fail or ensure your maids to do so.

Other wastes will be collected from your premises by a designated person. Else, you may have to visit the nearest point where these kinds of wastes are collected.

Make sure that you wrap the sanitary wastes in an old news paper and mark it in red color. This goes along with the wet waste.

These are the rules which may have to be followed in Bangalore. However, I recommend that you follow this method of disposing the waste no matter wherever you reside.
