Segregation Of Wastes

On 1^st of October, 2012 BBMP(Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike) established a method of segregating waste to reduce landfills and to regain the balance in the environment.  Many people welcomed this idea but some people thought it was a waste of time. People started segregating the wastes in separate bins. However some people were not attending to this properly. BBMP told that if segregation is improper they would collect a fine of Rs. 100.  In some areas including Bellandur (Sarjapur Road, Bangalore), this is not a complete success.

The issues are when BBMP announced that if segregation is improper, the residents will be fined, some people started throwing plastic garbage bags in the open spaces on the roadside. This is a wrong practice and should be stopped. Also BBMP is not picking up the waste at fixed intervals so the bins are overflowing with garbage most of the times. This causes worry of rat infestations in the apartments and stinky garbage cans.

A resident in Bellandur said that the segregation was necessary at this hour. The family has become more conscious of segregation and they were ready to change their routine a bit. They stopped home delivery of foods to reduce amount of plastic wastes going out of their house. The family felt more responsible for the waste going out of their home.

My conclusion is that many people are finding it difficult but at the same time want to do it. I think BBMP and people should take this seriously and put in effort to do this.

The Environment Is At Stake
