<p>Residents of ‘Vanshee Solitaire Apartments’ located in Chinnappanahalli, Marathahalli, have taken the partnership route to sort out their waste disposal problem with much success. <br /><br /></p>.<p>It all started when the apartment association decided to adopt and follow a ‘Two bins and One bag’ policy by partnering with city-based NGO Hasiru Dala. <br /><br />Each of the 80 families residing here were given a red bin, a green bin and a bag to segregate the waste. While red bin is for disposing of sanitary waste, green is for wet waste and dry waste is collected in the bag. Once the waste is segregated, the housekeeping staff collect the bins and store them in a common place within the apartment premises. <br /><br />“Hasiru Dala members pick up the waste stored at one place every morning and later hand them over to the government-owned Karnataka Compost Development Corporation (KCDC),” says an apartment resident, Bindhu Vinodh. <br /><br />Earlier, the waste collection here was haphazard. They were told by BBMP to handle the waste segregation on their own since apartments with more than 50 flats fall under the bulk generator category.</p>
