KSRTC clears 104 tonnes legacy waste

Thiruvananthapuram: As part of the state govt's waste-free Nava Keralam people's campaign, KSRTC is promoting waste-free operations across all its units in collaboration with the Haritha Keralam Mission. So far, 86 depots have received recognition and certification from the Haritha Keralam Mission for their waste management practices. KSRTC has handed over 104 tonnes of accumulated waste—including rexine, plastic, and e-waste—from its depots and workshops to the Clean Kerala Company. To ensure accountability and transparency in waste removal, a gate pass system has been introduced. In addition to waste management, beautification efforts are also underway at bus stations. To monitor the type and volume of waste removed and to check for any remaining waste, KSRTC has developed and implemented an online data entry system. Awareness posters and training sessions have been organized for employees and the public in coordination with the Haritha Keralam Mission. To curb littering at bus stations, KSRTC has launched the 'Depot Security 360' project, which involves the installation of comprehensive CCTV surveillance systems—including coverage of blind spots—across all depots in the state. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo Waste bins are also being installed to encourage proper disposal of waste. Around 600 bins have been placed at various bus stations, and an additional 2,000 bins are being installed on KSRTC buses.

The waste collected from these bins will be segregated and processed at bus stations before being handed over to the Haritha Karma Sena for disposal. KSRTC authorities said the waste-free drive—conducted in partnership with Haritha Keralam Mission, Sanitation Mission, Clean Kerala Company, and local self-government bodies—has received strong support from both employees and passengers.
