Tiruchi Corporation keen on turning garbage hotspots into green spaces

The Tiruchi City Corporation has intensified its drive to turn garbage hotspots in the city into green spaces.

Around 20 places have been reclaimed in the city and transformed into clean green spaces. The vulnerable points were cleaned, fenced, and painted. These spots are usually under the flyovers, walkways, and enclosures of transformers. The space is planted with decorative plants by making use of reusable waste such as paints, tyres, and plastics.

To promote the recycle and reuse concept, elements from the littered waste have been used to beautify the spot. Ceramic toilet closets dumped at the spots were used to grow flowering and ornamental plants. Similarly, tyres and paint boxes recovered from the waste were used as reusable flower pots.
