Solid Waste Mismanagement not only presents a tragic eye sore but also significantly contaminates the soil, water and air and is a major public health hazard to everyone living around the dumping sites,
In this backdrop, NLC India has proposed to introduce a pilot project under Swachh Bharat Mission for collection of daily wastes generated in residential/commercial/institutions etc. in blocks 5, 6 & 7 from door to door in segregated manner for further processing by involving M/s.Srinivas Waste Management Services (P) Ltd, Chennai (SWMS) with a Value of Rs. 94.55 Lakhs for a contract period of 1 year.
The objective of this initiative is to maximize waste recovery through sustainable use of biodegradable waste, recycling of waste thereby aiming to minimize waste disposal and composting of degradable wastes at the source itself to convert the wastes into organic manure.
The Solid Waste Management Programme undertaken by the company has a focused strategy which includes – conducting an assessment of the area, training waste management, raising public awareness and lastly collection and segregation of waste.
