Be a responsible citizen and always segregate waste before throwing it in the dustbin

We have extended our constant support to KMC for achieving 100% door to door collection of waste. In a record time of nine months KMC was able to achieve 100% segregated collection of waste with the help of 5 Partitioned Tippers with no household left.This waste is being transported to transfer station in the segregated form through partitioned tippers. Tracking and Monitoring of collection and transportation is being done through Vehicle Tracking and Monitoring System with our support. We are also supporting KMC in processing of waste by providing technical support, enhancing technical know-how, updating technology used, arranging technical sessions for safety of workforce etc. “Recycling old buildings to show art is very important.”

A specialized project called the Aatmanirbhar Ward has been constituted by KMC, Fusion Team has extended its support to KMC for implementation, execution and sustainability of this project. Initially five wards have been identified to make Atmanirbhar on pilot basis. Now this number has been increased to 11 wards. The motive of this project is to make wards Atmanirbhar in waste management making them zero waste wards. Under this project, a dedicated team of swachhata didi’s has been appointed to assist the citizens to make compost, subsidized compost bins are also being provided to the residents. IEC activities, workshops, training & capacity building and citizen engagement events are being held regularly. Team of Swachhata Didi’s going door-to-door to train and educate residents to make compost using wet household waste. “A society is defined not only by what it creates, but by what it refuses to destroy.”

Bartan and Thaila Banks were established at almost 2 places at in Unhel. People can take utensils on rent on nominal rates from these Bartan Bank for functions/ceremonies/other occasioned and can help in reducing load of disposable plastics on environment. They can also purchase Thaila from thaila bank and can stop using SUP/Plastic bags. These banks have made tremendous efforts in reducing quantum of waste generated. We in association of UCC is working towards involving SHGs in this project to provide them livelihood opportunities. “The purpose – where I start – is the idea of use. It is not recycling, it’s reuse.”

We have suggested to establish about 2 Neki Ki Deewar at Unhel, in turn UCC has established these at 2 locations in the city. These are helpful in getting cloths, utensils, food, shoes etc. to needy. Ultimate aim is to reduce production of waste, actually which is not waste but resource for others. “It's like recycling: selling old clothes to help make new ones.”

Paintings for spreading awareness about Safai Mitra Suraksha and its helpline number 14420, Swachh Survekshan2018, Behaviour Change Communication and Beautification were made on walls in different wards and public space. Our team extends constant support to UCC for Beatification of city. Decorative fencing/ wire mesh has also been constructed/fixed over the bridges of water bodies to prevent littering and gaining attraction/attention of passer-by to motivate them to not to litter at such a beautiful place. “Recycling old buildings to show art is very important.”
