What is Waste?
Simply put, waste or garbage are unwanted or undesirable materials or substances that are expelled from our homes, offices, parks, shops, dining establishments, and small businesses.
On the other hand, we have household waste, also known as domestic waste or residential waste, which is a type of disposable material produced by households. This waste can include both non-hazardous and hazardous waste.
Types of Waste
Dry Waste – The dry mixed waste is made up of non-decomposing waste. It contains no organic substances, such as food. It is also referred to as waste that cannot be biodegraded. Dry waste includes paper, plastics, metal, glass, rubber, thermocol, cloth, rexine, wood, empty bottles, cleaning boards, a bottle of toilet and floor, broken stationery, and water bottles.
Wet Waste – Wet waste decomposes naturally (such as food waste or cooking oils). The majority of the wet waste comes from the kitchen. It contains rotten vegetables, fruits, vegetable peels, fruit peels, used tea bags, coconut shells, used flowers/leaves after pooja, and expired food items such as bread and biscuits.
E-Waste – It is made up of batteries, computer parts, wires, electrical, watches, cell phones, bulbs, tube lights, and CFL.
Hazardous Waste – Hazardous waste is defined as any waste that is hazardous due to its characteristics. This is a physical, chemical, biological, reactive, toxic, flammable, explosive, or corrosive hazard to health or the environment. Expired goods, syringes, chemicals, insect repellents, paints, thermometers, used cosmetics, razors, and so on come under hazardous waste.
Inert Waste – These wastes include Sand, concrete, clay, subsoil, rubble.
Waste management in Mundeshwari
Mundeshwari has steadily grown to become the region’s leading real estate developer, boasting exceptional quality, consistency, economy, and creativity. Retaining the title of the top construction company in Patna is not easy. It comes with various responsibilities, one of which is the ability of residential waste management.
Waste management refers to the various waste management and disposal schemes. It can be done through waste disposal, destruction, processing, reducing, recycling, reusing, or control. The primary goal of waste management is to reduce the amount of waste and to avoid potential health and environmental hazards.
Usually, in apartments and societies, the housekeeping staff collects garbage door to door, which is then collected from curbsides by the municipal corporation or an authorised waste collection agency. Some people’s ‘dump everything in one garbage bag’ approach creates a massive waste sorting challenge. It’s nearly impossible for waste collectors to manually separate dry, wet, and toxic waste without injuring themselves, not to mention the endless hours spent separating and sorting through tonnes of trash collected every day.
But it is not the case with Mundeshwari Group, hailed as the top builder in Patna; they have adopted the modern and effective techniques of waste management. They are :
Waste Segregation: Before it is handed over to the collectors, waste is separated into three categories at the point of generation. Wet waste (Biodegradables), dry waste, and domestic hazardous waste.
Garbage openings are present on every floor of the apartments that let residents dispose of the waste according to the type of waste (i.e., dry or wet waste).
Residents also securely wrap used sanitary waste, such as diapers and pads, in pouches provided by manufacturers or in a suitable wrapping material. Broken glass, blades, and used needles are also tightly wrapped in newspaper before being handed over for collection.
The society stores material such as sand, concrete, clay, subsoil, and rubble in their facilities until it is delivered to the collector.
Sewage Treatment Plant (STP)
When it comes to waste treatment, STPs are a huge help. Mundeshwari, the top RERA approved builder in Patna, has incorporated futuristic Sewage Treatment Plants in all of its projects after recognizing its potential in the domain of residential waste management.
Sewage treatment is a type of wastewater treatment that aims to remove contaminants from sewage to produce ‘effluent’ suitable for discharge to the surrounding environment or reuse, thereby preventing water pollution from raw sewage discharges. Sewage is made up of wastewater from homes and businesses which are further filtered and recycled. 90% of the recycled wastewater is used in gardening and horticulture.
With only routine maintenance, STPs are dependable and unlikely to encounter problems and can be installed even on difficult or constrained sites.
With these top-notch facilities, living in the Mundeshwari societies will not only bring joy but will also result in a healthy and pollution-free lifestyle for the residents as well as the staff.
