To involve citizens in addressing city’s mounting waste management woes, the K/West ward (Andheri) administration of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s (BMC) launched a three-day Zero Garbage Fest at Juhu on Friday. The exhibition aims to inform participants about how, why, when and what aspects of waste management. The BMC in June also issued notices to more than 23,000 housing societies for not segregating their waste at source. For the exhibition, the BMC has roped in 49 non-governmental organisations, agencies, service providers and housing societies that have expertise in waste management. We have served notices to societies for violating solid waste management rules, but people need to understand the segregation and composting process from experts.”Four housing societies with model waste management units are also part of the exhibition.
