Response:
At a college, effective waste management starts with strategically placed collection points across the campus. Separate bins are provided for different types of waste: recyclables (like paper, plastics, and metals), non-recyclable trash, and organic waste. These bins are positioned in high-traffic areas such as cafeterias, dormitories, and common spaces to encourage proper sorting and disposal by students and staff.
The college works closely with municipal corporations to ensure that waste management practices are efficient and environmentally friendly. Once waste is collected in these bins, it is picked up by municipal waste management services. These services are responsible for transporting the waste to specialized facilities where it is sorted further. Recyclable materials are separated and sent to recycling centers, where they are processed into new products, reducing the need for virgin materials and minimizing landfill use.
