New project in #Ghaziabad: 400 kg household waste to be converted into compost daily

Under this project, Garbage Organic Waste Converter will be used to convert household waste into compostAlong with the rising population, garbage problem is also growing in Ghaziabad. Piles of garbage lie unattended in almost every corner of the city. Under a new initiative, Indirapuram’s Rajhans Society of Indirapuram  has become the first residential society that will play a vital role in waste management by converting household waste into compost. GDA (Ghaziabad Development Authority) and RWA will help the society in executing the plans. This is a pilot project and if it succeeds, gradually all societies will be asked to participate in the process. Under this project, everyday around 400 kilos of garbage coming out from 378 houses will be converted to compost using the Garbage Organic Waste Converter. President of Rajhans Society RWA, Sharat Jha says, “This project has been initiated in our society with the help of GDA and we will be able to make around four quintal compost which will then be used to maintain the greenery within the society and it will be sold out at a reasonable price as well.” Upon asked if there is any system in place for classifying which part of garbage is convertible and which isn’t, he says, “We had one bin system so far in this society, but now we will implement two bin system so that it doesn’t become hectic to pick out organic garbage and non-organic garbage from the pile.”
