Explanation:
The municipal corporations in Delhi are conducting intensive cleanliness drives across the city as part of the Prime Minister’s ‘Swachhta Hi Seva’ initiative.
One of the goals of the drives, which will last till October 2, is to encourage households to segregate garbage, and put wet waste in green dustbins and dry waste in blue ones.
Experts have consistently advocated such ‘source segregation’ as the first step towards better waste management. Consequently, solid waste management by-laws for the National Capital Territory of Delhi, notified in January, also put the onus of waste segregation on the generator of waste.
However, corporation officials said very few neighbourhoods in the city currently segregate their waste.
“We have been trying to increase awareness among people through information campaigns but there is resistance from the public,” said a municipal official.
The matter even came up before the Supreme Court last month, where a Bench of Justices Madan B. Lokur and Deepak Gupta criticised the city’s householders for not segregating their waste.
But what happens to waste that is already being segregated in a few neighbourhoods in the city?
Residents of DDA Janta flats in East of Kailash have been religiously segregating their waste into dry and wet dustbins for years now.
Beena, a resident and safai karamchari, said it is because most people in the locality work for the municipal corporation.
“It is easy. We put the waste from the kitchen in polyethene bags and leave dry waste in dustbins outside.”
Tota Mian, a garbage collector in the locality, said: “Residents have been segregating waste for at least the last six years that I have been working here.”
Unlike garbage collectors in areas that do not segregate waste, Tota Mian does not have to go through the added trouble of separating recyclable material from the muck of mixed waste.
He either sells the recyclable material to a contractor at a nominal rate or dumps it in the blue dustbins of the auto tipper that collects garbage in the area. What remains is biodegradable waste, which goes into the green bins.
