After being introduced innovative MSWM initiatives i.e., Parichayam (Know your Worker), Pinpoint Program, Wall writings on details of sanitary staff , involvement of all stakeholders in the community, i.e., RWAs, SHGs, NGO, Students, Senior citizens etc., a remarkable change is witnessed in Sanitation and Solid Waste Management conditions in the State.

Some ULBs, viz., Miryalguda, Tandur, Suryapet, Jagityal, and Warangal Corporation are striving to achieve zero garbage towns (there is no waste left for land filling status). Miryalguda and Tandur Municipalities have converted their waste processing sites into beautiful Parks in which people are spending their leisure time.
Apart from the above, the Warangal Corporation, Jagityal, Suryapet, Bhogir, Nalgonda, Kodad and Adilabad Municipalities have started composting of organic waste.
