The Greater Warangal Municipal Corporation (GWMC) Commissioner Shruti Ojha has called upon the citizens to come forward and actively engage in making ‘home compost’ from household waste.
GWMC Commissioner Shruti Ojha calls upon the residents of Warangal, Hanamkonda and Kazipet to recycle household waste to make home compost
Hanamkonda: The Greater Warangal Municipal Corporation (GWMC) Commissioner Shruti Ojha has called upon the citizens to come forward and actively engage in making ‘home compost’ from household waste.
The Commissioner on Monday launched making of home compost at her camp office in Hanamkonda.Speaking on the occasion, she urged the residents in the tri-cities of Warangal-Hanamkonda-Kazipet to understand the significance of home compost making and its uses.
She said that in view of ever increasing population in the city, it would be beneficial to recycle household waste to make home compost.
The Commissioner, Ohja, asked all the department heads and the staff in the corporation to take up the task of making home compost at their residences. It helps to motivate the common public to engage themselves in the process of recycling waste from their homes to prepare compost.
Recycling the domestic waste would help to protect environment as the waste would not be dumped at dumping sites. One could make compost with a minimal expenditure from materials such as dead leaves, branches and twigs, grass clippings, vegetable waste and fruit scraps, she explained.
Making home compost would be an effective measure in ensuring efficient solid waste management in the city. Awareness and education programmes involving different stakeholders should be taken up at residential areas and educational institutions to ensure public participation in at-source waste reduction, the Commissioner added.
Earlier the representative of ‘Wealth out of Waste’ (WOW) initiatives G Ramesh and others have explained the process of making home compost and the tools used in the process.
To inculcate the habit of source segregation and recycling among housewives and general public the programme ‘WOW’ was taken up they said.
Municipal health officer B Raja Reddy and others were present at the programme. Later, the Commissioner visited Urban Homeless People Centre at Palivelpula and inspected facilities there.
