BDA to lend a hand in disposing waste

At the inauguration of one such unit at its headquarters, BDA Commissioner Bharath Lal Meena said the authority, along with the Solid Waste Management Round Table, has taken up the initiative to create awareness among officials and public on segregating waste at source.

Bio-waste will be converted into manure while all recyclable waste, including paper and plastic, will be picked up by recyclers from the premises directly. The BDA will set up the centres on a 30X40 site or a smaller space in the layouts.

“We will rope in the residents’ welfare associations to set up the centres in the already developed layouts. These are community-based projects and by taking them up, we will be indirectly helping the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike,” he said.
