Coimbatore corporation to test home composting program in select households

The City Corporation is in the early stages of discussing a potential home composting initiative aimed at reducing household waste. “Corporation Commissioner Sivaguru Prabhakaran has initiated the proposal and instructed the sanitary officers in each zone to identify 100 households per ward for a pilot programme in composting wet waste,” said City Health Officer K. Boopathy. By composting wet waste at the source, households would significantly reduce the volume of waste requiring collection and processing by the Corporation, thereby reducing manpower and associated costs,” said Mr. Boopathy. “Based on the zonal sanitary officers’ reports, the next steps will be reviewed and discussed with the Commissioner during the upcoming review meeting next week,” said a zonal sanitary officer.
