RRR Initiative and Four-Bin Waste Segregation Drive Held in Vishnu Garden Colony
As part of the Swachhata Hi Seva campaign, the Municipal Corporation organised an awareness programme in Vishnu Garden Colony, Ward No. 2, to promote the RRR concept—Reduce, Reuse and Recycle—and encourage residents to adopt the four-bin waste segregation system at household level.
The programme focused on encouraging citizens to segregate waste at source and understand that many household items considered unwanted can still be useful. Clothes, books, toys and other materials can be reused, donated or recycled instead of being discarded as waste.
The awareness programme was attended by Chief Minister’s Good Governance Associate Abhishruti, Chief Sanitary Inspector Harjit Singh, Amit Kamboj, BJP Mandal President and Councillor Priyank Sharma, SBM Expert Durgesh Kumar, RWA President Praduman Singh Laddi and residents of the colony.
Residents Encouraged to Give Useful Items a Second Life»
Addressing the gathering, SBM Expert Durgesh Kumar explained that useful items lying unused in homes should not automatically be treated as waste. Clothes, books, toys and other articles can be given to people who need them, thereby extending their useful life and reducing the quantity of material entering the waste stream.
He also explained the importance of the four-bin waste segregation system. Residents were encouraged to keep wet waste, dry waste, domestic hazardous waste and sanitation-related waste separately so that each category can be handled appropriately.
RRR Can Help Reduce Household Waste»
Abhishruti, Chief Minister’s Good Governance Associate, said the RRR approach should become part of everyday life. She emphasised that reusing items that are often considered unnecessary can help reduce waste while also conserving valuable resources.
She urged residents to begin the process of responsible waste management from their own homes. According to her, source segregation and greater participation in RRR initiatives can contribute to a cleaner neighbourhood and more efficient waste management.
