Reduce, Reuse and Recycle Centre Opens In Ziro

ZIRO: On Tuesday, Lower Subansiri DC Bamin Nime opened a reduce, reuse, and recycle (RRR) centre at the site of the former Urban Development & Housing (UD&H) shopping complex in Ziro.

The DC’s untied money has been used to fund the centre, as one of the DC’s initiatives. Used shoes and slippers, tools, books, papers, utensil items, electronics (e-waste), plastic items, textile items, and other non-wet objects can all be collected in its eight chambers.

Bamin said that “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, while some of the donated items like shoes, slippers, books and clothes could be reused.” He appealed to the people of the valley to be “responsible citizens and not dump garbage at the centre.”

CCTV cameras have been installed in the premises, and violators will be penalised, he warned. Informing that the RRR centre “is an effort to supplement the ongoing garbage management system in the valley,” the DC, however, made it clear that “the site is only for a temporary period.”

“In future, a children’s park is slated to be constructed here,” he informed. The DC said also that “the people of the valley are slowly becoming more garbage conscious and have started doing primary segregation of their garbage at homes and places of stay.

“Segregation of metal, plastics, clothes and bottles is manageable now. But the vexed issue of segregation of diapers and sanitary napkins is the real problem in garbage management. Hence, I once again appeal to the denizens of the valley not to dump such garbage into the Kley river or any other place, but to burn or dispose them of responsibly,” he said.

UD Assistant Engineer Chakpu Raju informed that “the accumulated materials will be picked up by the UD&H workers, segregated, and disposed of on the same day, thereby keeping the chambers empty every evening.”

The DC distributed 100 T-shirts, printed with the slogan ‘Respect Dignity of Labour, Practise Payback to Society’ to all the participants who attended the function, including HODs, staffers of the district secretariat, ZPMs, NGOs, youths, and students.

He appealed to them to spare one hour of their time during the weekends to assist in cleanliness drives in and around the Ziro-Hapoli area.
