Initiative promotes recycling, source segregation, public participation in cleanliness

Kulgam, Apr 03: In a push for sustainable waste management, the Municipal Council Kulgam has installed “Waste to Wonder” sculptures made from plastic bottles, discarded vehicle tyres and other plastic waste at Office Park, Town Hall, Kulgam.

The initiative, taken up under the Swachhata Excellence Campaign, aims to promote recycling, source segregation and environmental awareness while improving public spaces.

The installations were carried out by the Municipal Council team under the supervision of officials, with the involvement of Nodal Officer Mubarak Ahmad Ganie and the guidance of IEC Senior Swachhata Executive Swaaha.

The sculptures, designed using discarded materials, reflect a practical approach to the reuse of waste and demonstrate how everyday plastic waste can be converted into functional and decorative public assets.

Executive Officer, Municipal Committee Kulgam, Irfan Ahmad, said the initiative is part of ongoing efforts to strengthen waste management and public participation. “We are working on sustainable practices and encouraging people to adopt waste segregation and recycling at the household level. Such initiatives show that waste can be reused in a meaningful way,” he said.

Officials said the effort is aimed at encouraging behavioural change among residents and reducing waste generation through community involvement.

The council has appealed to the public to adopt similar practices at home and in localities to support cleanliness and environmental conservation.

Such initiatives, officials said, are expected to contribute to a cleaner and greener town while promoting responsible waste management practices among citizens.

Meanwhile, Swachh Bharat Mission - Urban shared the Kulgam initiative, saying trash got a glow-up as “Waste to Wonder” sculptures at Town Hall turned plastic bottles, old tyres and scrap into eye-catching art, proof that one person’s trash can be a whole town’s masterpiece.
