It is estimated that per day a kg of waste is produced from a house. Swachh Dooths will sensitise housewives about using wet waste to produce fertilizers and dry wet for power generation. The GHMC has taken a novel initiative to produce compost in the apartments. The GHMC directed the hotels, function halls and others which produce waste more than 50 kgs to set up on site compost units within deadline.
GHMC has come up with an innovative idea of setting up of mike and speaker system to 2,500 Swachh Autos to create awareness among residents over segregating waste and cleaning surroundings.
