Mixed waste is poison and impossible to recycle and cities spend a lot of money to collect, haul and dump poison. This myopic strategy is the reason for dirty streets, poisoned land, water and air pollution. An interactive session was held by Dwarka Forum on waste Segregation at Skylark Apartments, Dwarka Sector 6. The poorest of the poor work to eke out their living by collecting, sorting and selling things we throw out daily. They are experts on creating value from waste and navigating the recyclables market.
So composting at home, believe it or not, supports and dignifies this important aspect of our cities. Composting begins with segregation, and once you segregate, your dry waste is easier to handle and bring value to people who handle it. In India maids, watchmen, drivers, rag pickers, waste recycles, waste dealers all get some value out of discarded material. You also set an example - that getting your hands into waste is not an undignified thing to do thus raising the bar on dignity while touching waste. Not the other way around.
