WASTE MANAGEMENT :Surat has undergone remarkable transformation in recent years. One of the notable changes in the city has been the conversion of garbage dumps into seating areas for the public. To eliminate garbage dumps, the Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) transformed many of these points into seating areas. They aimed to provide a clean and comfortable place for people to sit and relax while helped in the reduction of garbage dumping spots in the city. Under this initiative, Surat identified the garbage dumps and transformed them into seating area equipped with benches, lights, and trash bins. It has also planted trees and shrubs to create a green environment and promote biodiversity. ‘Sanjay Nagar circle’ is one of the few examples of these transformations, where the garbage dump site has been converted into a beautiful seating area by SMC. To maintain the cleanliness of this place, SMC has deployed one person at the location at 5 am to make sure the citizens are not dumping their waste here. SMC ensures daily coverage of door-to-door garbage collection from the surrounding area to ensure 100% waste collection.
