Chennai residents adopt eco-friendly waste disposal practices ahead of Bhogi

As Bhogi approaches, Chennai residents are shifting towards eco-friendly waste disposal instead of burning old items, which causes air pollution. The Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board and Greater Chennai Corporation are urging the public to avoid burning plastics and other pollutants. Community initiatives are gaining traction, with residents organizing waste collection drives. Sreevidhya Ashok leads efforts in her apartment complex, while organizations like Wasted360 facilitate recycling of various household items. Local groups emphasize the importance of waste segregation and responsible disposal. Residents are increasingly participating in collection drives and storing items for proper disposal, reflecting a change in community behavior.
