Rag Pickers Development Services
The growth of solid-waste generation poses alarming threats to health and environment.More than 55 million tons of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is generated in urban Indian cities annually and is increasing at a rate of 1-1.33% annually. In the IT Capital Bangalore, 7000 tons of solid waste is generated every day and dumped into the open.They are victims to diseases and accidents due to dangerous items, such as broken glass, needles and explosive gas thrown in the open. The municipal corporation cannot pick up the tons of waste, which is generated in the city every day. The rag pickers fill the gap. For this work they are not paid by the city and they are not recognized as work force.Most popular related searches
