Tezu Phase Of Himalayan Cleanup 2026 Waste Audit

01 Jun 2026 CW Team

At Bamboosa Library around 40 participants, including representatives of student organisations, welfare societies, teachers, business owners, youth volunteers and citizens, took part in interactive discussions and awareness sessions on waste management and responsible consumption. Sessions covered measures to reduce plastic use and encourage reuse and segregation at source. Organisers framed waste management as a shared community responsibility rather than solely a municipal concern.

Volunteers received training in waste segregation and waste audit procedures to help identify the composition and sources of waste generated in the locality. The training aimed to enable precise sorting during the field exercise and to improve data quality for subsequent recovery efforts. Participants were encouraged to adopt simple everyday practices such as carrying reusable water bottles and avoiding single-use packaging.

Around 60 volunteers, including members of the Lohit Green Foundation, the ex-SSB Welfare Society, students and other community members, took part in collecting and segregating waste near Tezu Nala bridge. Approximately 42.4 kilograms (kg) of plastic wrappers, 12.8 kg of glass bottles and 12 kg of PET bottles were collected, with single-use packaged drinking water bottles, chips packets and instant food packaging among the most common items.

Following the audit all segregated materials were handed to the Material Recovery Facility (MRF) in Tezu for recycling and resource recovery. The organisers said cleanup drives alone cannot resolve the waste challenge and urged sustained behavioural change, responsible consumption and collective community action under the guiding principle of My Waste, My Responsibility.
