Nagaland Directs Villages to Implement Four-Stream Waste Segregation Under 2026 Rules
The Nagaland government has directed all villages to implement source-level segregation of waste under the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2026, effective April 1. Households must separate waste into four streams: wet waste (green bin), dry waste (blue bin), sanitary waste (securely wrapped in a separate bin), and hazardous waste (red bag). District administrations are tasked with enforcing these guidelines and coordinating with relevant departments, alongside conducting awareness programs to promote sustainable waste management.
