SEGREGATED GARBAGE AND SYSTEMATIC / SCIENTIFIC
DISPOSAL THROUGH VERMINCULTURE
INTRODUCTION
1. Improper disposal of domestic garbage in any human habitation always leads to disastrous consequences in the environment. Methods of garbage disposal in various parts of our country especially in urban and semi-urban area are either non-scientific or short sighted. Air Force stations are no exception to this fact. However, inherent advantage of Air Force Stations in terms of its homogeneous population and sound administration is an ideal bed rock for initiating and implementing a systematic and scientific way of garbage disposal.
2. Generally at Air Force Stations, garbage bins are constructed all over the area and are located centrally near a block of quarters. The unit incumbants are in habit of throwing the garbage outside the centrally located garbage bins. The throwing of garbage around garbage bins give a very untidy look and indirectly becomes the breeding place for stray dogs, other animals, birds and insects.
3. In every station there is a conservancy contract for disposal off garbage and cleaning the garbage bins. The conservancy contract is responsible for removal and disposal of garbage, fifth, rubbish, dry leaves, grass, twigs and branches from all the place within the campus. However, this generally is not the case in the absence of effective supervision.
AIM
4. The aim of this service paper is to device a method to implement a system of door to door collection of segregated garbage and systematic/ scientific disposal through vermiculture at units / stations.
PRESENT SYSTEM
5. Everyday housewives, servants, dispose off garbage in garbage bins. The entire day’s garbage thus gets accumulated in and around the centrally located garbage bins. This garbage is then lifted by the conservancy contractor and disposed off to a site earmarked by administration. However it is seen that at majority of
