Tiruchi and Erode Corporations Implement Source Segregation of Waste with Colour-Coded Bins
Tiruchi and Erode Corporations have mandated source segregation of waste into four categories: wet, dry, sanitary, and special care waste, using colour-coded bins. Tiruchi targets bulk waste generators to process waste onsite, while Erode requires all households and commercial establishments to segregate waste for collection. Wet waste is processed via composting or biomethanation, dry waste is recycled, sanitary waste is safely disposed of, and special care waste is collected weekly. These measures align with recent solid waste management rules to improve waste handling and environmental outcomes.
