Solid Waste Management

VATAVARAN'S model 'Zero Garbage Area' is a decentralized, employment generating, low investment, resident friendly, labor intensive, and without any heavy equipments or land fill sites.

Vatavaran has set up very many 'Cleaning Brigades' in low, middle and high income residential localities, education & bazaar sector and resettlement colony etc with the help of the communities.Vatavaran believes that every one of us has to participate in solid waste management as all of us create garbage.

"We believe that Community involvement is not an option anymore but a necessity." Merely bringing in newer and more expensive technology cannot control the garbage problem.

Vatavaran also studies solid waste situation in various sectors, Railway stations, markets and commercial establishments, hospitals etc analyzes and recommends changes.
