I completely agree with the associations reaction. Did you know that loads of plastic were being burnt at the Mekkara ground behind the Government Arts College with the municipality’s knowledge

Well, the Residents’ associations in the town have taken the proposal with mixed feelings. It is a project that is not likely to be implemented is what they feel. I hope they are wrong.

I wanted to tell you that the punching machine would help reduce the volume of the plastic, which would make the storage easy. Also the storage area could hold these plastic blocks for a year.

A punching machine worth Rs. 8 lakh, which would compress the collected plastic and make packs of 50 kg, had been ordered. They would be stored in a godown. It is really heartening to see that so much thought is going into making our city plastic free.

It could be expanded further by involving residents’ associations, neighbourhood groups and even groups of school children. The municipality was considering engaging some of these groups who could collect clean plastic

Yeah i agree with the comment below me, there was no organised system to collect plastic waste in the town. Some Kudumbasree units collected plastic waste from the households.

Did you know that Tripunithura town generated about 2 lakh kilograms of plastic waste a year. It includes different types of carry bags, plastic used in packaging grocery items, cement bags and hard plastic such as buckets.

Well, earmarking Rs. 20 lakh for the project, the municipality has proposed to collect clean plastic at a cost of Rs. 10 a kilo. Also the plastic bags are difficult to mange as they are used and thrown indiscriminately.

Yeah. even i heard that particular news and from what i understood, Tripunithura Municipality has proposed an ambitious project in its budget for 2015-16 to tackle plastic waste menace. A step in the right direction if you ask me.
