In my area- Rajarajeshwarinagar, I rarely see the garbage truck. They are certainly not coming everyday. Earlier I used to see their truck once in blue moon. Now I think even that has stopped.
So I am using my own methodology. All vegetable and fruit skin, used tea powder etc., I store in an old bucket which I keep covered with tile, to that it won't stink. Once the bucket is filled, I leave it for almost 2 months. In the meanwhile I use a second bucket for storing my kitchen waste. After 2 months, the garbage has changed to nice compost which I use for my kitchen garden.
Most of the days, left over cooked rice is eaten by me. Rather than heating it in cooker, microwaving for 3 minutes after sprinkling some water will be better. And if due to any reason, the quantity of left over rice is too much, I make puliogare with that rice and my husband does not mind.
Ideally that should leave us only with dry waste. This I should have given for recycling, but I do not know any one near my home. So I throw them in garbage bin near my house.
Most domestic helps will take the milk covers and coconut shells.
So dear Bangaloreans it is not so difficult to segregate the waste and minimize the garbage. And if we individuals can do this, so can the BBMP. Isn't it?
