the actual plan is that they are enforcing the Plastic Waste (Management and Handling) rules of 2011. It is related to authorisation, manufacturing, recycling and disposal of plastic and creating public awareness as well. this is really a boost for the image of Mysore.

Yeah..they also say that there will be no use of plastic sheets or stationary wrapped in plastic, plastic files, plastic bags, plastic water bottles, and drinking cups. even the public entering the tourist destinations will have to deposit any plastic material in a special bin that is provided for the purpose.

Hey, for this the plastic is also a problem. Now, the authorities have declared that places of tourist interest like the Chamundi Hills, Palace and the Zoo are plastic-free zones. The MCC has banned the use of plastic in its premises with effect from today.

exactly, this is what everything is meant for. Making this city clean, and making it more appealing to the people who wish to invest in Mysore. By this video, the local people will be aware of cleaning their place and the steps for this. The video demonstrates how to separate wet and dry waste and ask people not to throw garbage on the streets, empty plots and drains.

Yaaa..i too saw this video clip. It was about the hazards of unscientific disposed garbage, benefits of segregation of wet and dry waste by residents, responsibility of people in waste management etc. I think that this waste problem is having a serious implication on the real estate of this place. But, if we manage to reduce these problems, then you can be sure that the more and more investors will be ready to buy these pollution-free land in Mysore.

Hey guys, the MCC people also planning to shoot a short movie also. It recently ask artistes to perform street plays on the problem of littering around in the public places. I think this is how we can teach and educated our people very very easily. If we can do this successfully, the mysore city will create more attention for the investors and also tourists. The people can itself gain from this.

guys, i did not watch any news about the waste management and all. but, i think i saw a video clip on tv about waste management in mysore. when i asked my friend, he said that the MCC has released 6 such 40-second videos to create awareness about waste management in Mysore. These videos have videos as well as text slides. They are being screened on local TV channels and in movie halls as well as in public.

see, there are nearly 2 lakh houses in 65 wards in Mysore. The waste generated is going to only one centralized solid waste management plant in Vidyaranyapuram. But, now the situation of this place is cery pathetic because of dumping more waste than it can handle. The people of nearby JP Nagar is complaining about the foul smell they have to put up with everyday.

Definitely, i saw the same thing in the news recently. The mysore city corporation officials are already planning to activate all the nine zero waste management units which are set up in the different zones of the city. Now, there is only one garbage treatment plant in this location and it has been pressurized with much load. The plan is to activate all of these waste management units and reduce the pressure on the existing treatment garbage plant at Vidyaranyapuram.

apart from activating these nine waste management units, the MCC is also planning to set up two more mega solid waste treatment plants at Rayankere and Kesre. Each of these mega waste treatment plants will have a capacity to treat 300 tonnes a day. I think this will really help the problem of the city to cope with its garbage troubles.

yeah..there are also plans to create awareness among the officials as well as the city dwellers for the need of effective waste management. presently the city generates about 450 tonnes of waste everyday. the existing garbage treatment plants can barely treat 200 tonnes.

Yep!! Mysore is on a roll now. It is shaping itself into a plastic-free zone. In recent times, there was a lot of issues related to the poor waste management of the city. But lately, the authorities of the Mysore City Corporation visited various waste management units. This was a part of their initiative to create awareness about the segregation of waste. I think this will have a huge positive impact on the real estate of the city.

Oh, i see this as a very good move. I have heard of this particular zero waste management unit of Kumbarkoppal in Mysore. This is a model waste management unit in mysore. They collect around three tonnes of waste everyday. They also get some good revenue by selling the manure produced from the waste. This can be followed by other zero waste management units also.

ya..ya..there are almost nine zero waste management units in Mysore. But, i think only one or two of these are active. all others are inactive. The government and the MCC officials should make all efforts to activate all these nine zero waste management units in the city also.
