In order to spread awareness and inculcate the habit of recycling waste, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC)'s D ward has taken up the initiative to provide students with a practical experience in composting and waste segregation.

Assistant Municipal Commissioner (AMC) from D ward had written a letter to over 40 schools in the ward inviting them to participate in the initiative.

According to officials, the initiative will set an example for students and inspire them to do composting and waste segregation at the school level.

So far, only a handful of schools in D ward segregate e-waste, wet and dry waste.

Through the initiative, the solid waste management team of the D ward will guide and explain the concept to school students.

"This will help students gain practical knowledge and hands-on experience. Citizens should embrace the responsibility of recycling the waste they generate. Students have environmental studies as a subject which includes field visits. This initiative will make them aware of waste segregation techniques that can be done at the local level," said Vishvas Mote, Assistant Municipal Commissioner of D ward.
