Most local bodies in Ernakulam have set up material collection centres for aggregating waste
The movement to collect and dispose of waste in Ernakulam has gained momentum under the Green Kerala Mission. Sources in the mission said most local bodies in the district had set up material collection centres for aggregating waste from the respective areas. They said only 16 of the 82 panchayats in Ernakulam now needed to set up collection centres. The government proposal is to establish around 100 material collection centres across the State under the Rebuild Kerala initiative. The Rebuild Kerala mission was initiated after the devastating floods in August 2018. The proposals also include creating a database on commercially potential resources, riverine biodiversity conservation and rejuvenation, conservation of agro biodiversity, development of sanitary landfills, and integrated facilities for disposal of plastic.More Related News
