In May this year, India launched the campaign Meri LiFE Mera Swachh Shehar. The initiative is aimed at strengthening the objectives of Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban 2.0 and aligning with the central government’s LiFE (Lifestyle for Environment) movement that focuses on mindful utilisation. At the core of the campaign lies the idea of RRR - reduce, reuse, and recycle – which has initiated a movement across India involving citizens to achieve the goal of garbage-free cities.
In Visakhapatnam, the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) has started several RRR centres across different zones. These centres not only work as one-stop kiosk for waste donation (used clothes or fabrics, toys, electronic waste) and dissemination, some of them also have a collection of reusable products made from recycled waste item. Here’s a look at the six RRR centres which have a unique theme and will become permanent fixtures in the city.
