THE GARBAGE PROBLEM IN INDIAN CITIES
Big Indian cities produce 3000 tonnes of waste everyday at the least. Most of this reaches dumps that are illegal. Till our cities get a planned and efficient waste management programme, this situation is likely to continue and even get worse as the population increases and we consume even more.
Individual citizens can help by reducing their individual garbage footprint - by reducing the garbage they generate and in other cases by re-cycling waste. One excellent way of dealing with wet, organic waste like that from the kitchen is to compost it. Waste like this, actually does not need to travel because it contains 60% water. The municipal department thus ends up spending fuel, cartage and labour transporting water!!
Daily Dump allows citizens to help manage this wet waste at home itself, to convert it to useful manure and at the same time reduce the burden on the city’s civic infrastructure.
