Mussoorie/Dehradun, 3rd March.
Mussoorie Municipal council president Anuj Gupta inaugurated the installation of two eco-friendly bins designed by Hildaari at Company Garden in Mussoorie on Tuesday.
The objective of installing these dustbins is to make tourists and residents alike aware that if garbage is segregated and recycled it could prove to be an important revenue earning resource.
The recycled plastic litterbins have been designed and manufactured by an Eco-product manufacturing company called Workshop Q. Madhvi & Radhika, Co-Founders & spokesperson from WorkshopQ said “With simple communication through bold signages and adhering to assigned colors (wet waste= green, dry waste= blue) accessible to people from all walks of society, we can all come together to realise our Hilldaari i.e. responsibility towards the hills.” Each litterbin has a combined capacity of 180 litres and is made using recycled plastic (multi-layer packaging, HDPE and LDPE plastics). A total of 125 kg of plastic has been recycled into making these 10 eye-catching litterbins.
With this creative intervention, the project intends to add beauty and meaning to public spaces while instilling a sense of hope for a more sustainable future.
Hilldaari has been working in Mussoorie for the past two years to develop inclusive, contextualised and resilient model for solid and plastic waste management in the city.
With the support of the council Hilldaari team has facilitated the completion of 10 artworks across prominent walls in the city, to highlight Responsible waste management behaviours and contribution of Corona warriors. We have also constructed recycled tile pavement, placed 15 recycled plastic benches, and 2 glass benches filled with waste, at various tourist spots in the city to showcase how waste produced by the city can be used as a resource. Now, we will also be placing 10 recycled plastic litterbins at high footfall areas and near garbage vulnerable points to promote no-littering and source segregation.
With this creative intervention, the project intends to add beauty and meaning to public spaces while instilling a sense of hope for a more sustainable future.
MC Executive Officer Ashutosh Sati, Ashok Kumar Vicky Shubham, Virendra Singh Rana and Chandrabhan Singh from company Garden, From Hildari, Abhilesh Anshul Babita were present.
