Segregation must begin at home

The middle and upper-income classes ought to recognise their critical role in the solid waste management chain and live up to it

End of year is time for reflection. As I think about the numerous columns I have written this year in this space on the poor state of solid waste management and the lack of safe disposal of the waste that we generate in our cities, I cannot help but think that the problem arises because the public does not realise that lapses in waste management (garbage disposal as well as sewage treatment) are directly connected with the incidence of disease. Otherwise, why would we regard this as someone else’s problem to solve?
