A plan to minimise garbage being sent to the city’s
landfill sites has been set in motion by the South Delhi Municipal Corporation
(SDMC), which is inviting expressions of interest for its ‘zero garbage’ model
this week. SDMC Commissioner Manish Gupta said on Tuesday that the civic body
would be inviting partners to help reduce the amount of waste being added to
sanitary landfill sites and maximise the reuse of garbage.“We are looking for
two kinds of partners, one to organise rag-pickers and train them in waste
segregation and the other to set up a facility centre for processing,” said Mr.
Gupta.
