Promotion of Community participation in Solid Waste management in selected wards of Agartala

The project aims at tackling the collection, storage, transportation and disposal of solid waste in Agartala. For this, there will be door-to-door collection of waste by private collectors who will be provided with a pedal-tricycle. Citizen committees and community clubs will be formed who would facilitate payment to the garbage collectors. Provisions to convert organic garbage to organic manure will be made. Even school children will be motivated to participate in waste management activities in their own capacities. Another goal of this project is make value-added products out of waste. Also, targeted wards under the Agartala Municipal area will be converted into model wards in an effort to set an example to the rest of the city.
