The RWA and residents of La Laguna, a condominium on Golf Course Road, Gurgaon, have installed a compost plant to process and turn waste into manure. For starters, the process begins with segregation of garbage and waste through a disciplined system of waste collection. This is followed by a waste management process that turns garbage into manure.
Conceived early this year, the initiative is now fully operational and has begun yielding results. While the daily waste is segregated into wet and dry, E-waste is collected separately.
The condominium processes 4,500 kg of wet waste
The RWA initiative was welcomed wholeheartedly by the residents, some of whom are enthusiastic participants in the whole programme and have spread awareness about waste segregation within the society members.
Kavita Bansal, a resident of the society, told City Spidey, "Our waste collectors collect both types of waste. Kitchen waste along with horticulture waste is converted to rich compost in 20 to 25 days in the plant by natural process."
"The compost plant located inside the society generates nearly 400 kg of manure from 4,500 kg of kitchen waste that is collected in a month," she added.
For the E-waste, there are separate bins that collect electronic items. The bins are kept at two locations inside the complex.
“Residents throw unusable electronic items into these bins. Once they are filled up, E-waste is handed over to an authorised E-waste recycle professional,” Kuldeep Kohli, RWA president said.
