Nellore takes steps toward a waste-free city

In a determined effort to manage waste effectively and transform the city into a waste-free zone, the Nellore Municipal Corporation is actively engaging the public, encouraging them to hand over their waste to civic staff. To discourage residents from dumping waste in public areas, fines are being imposed on violators.

Spanning an area of 150 sq km, Nellore produces between 250 to 300 metric tonnes of solid waste daily. Currently, waste collected from 54 divisions is transported to a transit point at Bodigadithota before being relocated to outskirts of the city.

In order to ensure cleanliness in the city and promote the proper disposal of garbage, the NMC is placing great emphasis on educating the public about segregating wet and dry waste at the source, which can be subsequently recycled.

Municipal Commissioner Vikas Marmat urges the cooperation of the public in working together with the authorities. He stated, "By joining forces, the people and the municipal corporation can contribute to waste recycling, with the resulting output being converted into bio-fertilizers. Effective waste management will also help control the mosquito population and reduce the risk of various dangerous diseases."

The head of the civic body has instructed officials to identify the best divisions every three months as a means of maintaining cleanliness in their respective localities.
