Indore's Waste Segregation Model

Indore's Waste Segregation Model is an innovative approach to managing waste effectively. The city has implemented a system where citizens separate their waste into three categories: dry, wet, and hazardous. Dry waste includes recyclables like plastic and paper, wet waste consists of organic materials like food scraps, and hazardous waste covers items that are harmful, like batteries. By encouraging this separation at the source, Indore maximizes recycling, reduces landfill waste, and improves public health. The model has garnered national recognition, making Indore one of the cleanest cities in India and inspiring other cities to adopt similar practices.
