Chandigarh Implements Four-Bin Waste Segregation System Under New Rules

Chandigarh Municipal Corporation has implemented the revised Solid Waste Management Rules, 2026, requiring residents to segregate waste into four color-coded bins: green for wet waste, blue for dry, red for sanitary, and black for hazardous waste. Municipal Commissioner Amit Kumar emphasized strict enforcement, with penalties up to ₹14,000 for non-compliance. Residents must securely wrap sanitary waste for safe handling. Bulk waste generators and construction waste have specific disposal guidelines. The initiative aims to promote scientific waste management and environmental protection through active citizen and official participation.
