GUWAHATI: Titabar town in Assam under Jorhat District has bought laurels to the state by becoming Assam's first ‘zero waste town’ by revolutionizing management of solid waste.
According to a report in Assam Tribune, the small town, Titabar- as part of its consistent campaign, has set up a material recovery facility where all organic waste is managed through aerobic composting.
The move of door-to-door collection, some primary and some tertiary segregation, has resulted in reduction in foul odor and greenhouse gas emission from the dumpsite.
Apart from achieving the zero waste town, the Jorhat town has also set up the state’s first bio-mining project to completely recover the dumpsite and work towards 100 percent waste processing.
