Bengaluru South Corporation collaborates with NGO on animal waste management plan

Bengaluru: Bengaluru South City Corporation has partnered with the not-for-profit organisation Vedan Trust to develop a scientific roadmap for systematic animal waste management within its jurisdiction.

The collaboration aims to address unscientific waste disposal by meat vendors and establish a well-equipped, hygienic collection system, officials said.

As part of the initiative, the NGO surveyed meat and animal product outlets to identify waste generation points, designed an auto-collection system, and established a clear framework for meat vendors, including specific timings and designated transfer points for safe waste handover.

"This collaboration will bring a professional approach to solid waste management. We are not just collecting waste; we are building a sustainable sanitation model based on data," said a representative from Vedan.

The commissioner also met with AdMyBins, which has successfully reduced black spots in major cities of West Bengal by installing litter bins. The corporation is considering implementing a similar strategy along key roads in its area.
