Door-to-door awareness campaign to be taken up on source segregation of waste in Dindigul
The Hindu
ITC Limited partners with Dindigul Corporation to promote waste segregation and recycling, aiming to make the city cleaner.
ITC Limited would take up door-to-door awareness for a period of one year in Dindigul city on the need to segregate domestic waste while handing over to Dindigul Corporation cleanliness workers.
Dindigul Corporation has signed an agreement with ITC Limited for deploying 25 volunteers in the 48 wards of the city to impress upon the residents on the importance of source segregation of waste into wet waste and dry waste.
“The bio-degradable wastes would be used to manufacture organic manure through micro compost centres, while the dry waste like papers and plastics would be taken up for recycling,” said Corporation Commissioner N. Ravichandran.
A meeting of Dindigul Corporation councillors, officials with ITC representatives, chaired by the Mayor, J. Ilamathi, was held here on Wednesday.
Speaking on the occasion, the Mayor said that lack of awareness among the residents on source segregation forced the workers to suffer in the mammoth task of segregating the waste as non-degradable and degradable.
She appealed to the councillors to take up the message among the residents in order to make Dindigul a clean city.
The Commissioner said ITC Limited has taken up similar programme in Coimbatore city.
