Bengaluru's Waste Crisis: Composting as a Solution

  • Mountains of mixed garbage are rising in Bengaluru despite a 36% garbage tax by BBMP.
  • Localised ward-level composting could solve half the problem, but it's largely ignored.
  • Successful composting models in apartments and a BMRCL project show potential for scaling up.
  • SWM experts suggest using the garbage tax revenue to provide compost bins and set up ward-level composting centres.
  • Citizens demand transparency and involvement in waste management decisions, emphasizing the need for a robust monitoring system.
