DUSTBIN FOR HOUSEHOLD
Dustbins for waste segregation Initiatives has been taken and public awareness campaigns have been carried out so as to train the public – as to how to separate ‘wet waste’ and ‘dry waste’. The clear objective of this sub-project is to facilitate a systematic and hygienic manner to dispose house-hold waste.To facilitate such behavioral change on the general public, a total of 1,43,200 dustbins have been distributed to 71,600 households accompanied by teachings on how to segregate household waste.
GARBAGE VEHICLES
Aiding in the collection of Segregated Waste from the household level and to practice hygienic methods of Solid Waste transportation, a total of 54 Garbage Vehicle with automated hydraulic tilting functions was procured and commissioned to the Aizawl Municipal Corporation. These 54 Garbage Vehicles were further classified, color coded and dedicated to carrying Wet Waste (27 nos.) and Dry Waste (27 nos.).
SOLID WASTE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT CENTER
The old practice of using a dumping ground for waste disposal was non-scientific and harmful to the environment. Therefore, SIPMIU took the initiative to construct a center where segregated solid waste from the city would be further utilized processed.
The Center is capable of converting wet waste to compost using either vermi-composting system or mechanical composting system. And Dry Waste to production raw material through segregation of material such as plastics, metals, glass etc.
The Center is equipped with weighbridges to account for daily statistics, a laboratory for analysis and a Scientific Sanitary Landfill to discard any unusable waste.
