    Hey!

    I like your post .

    I must say that several corporations and industries realize the impact of waste on the environment and dutifully outline a bunch of rules that need to be followed for waste minimization.

    And there are so many companies you can look for.

    They summarize strategies that help to reduce, collect, recycle and dispose the resulting waste causing minimal damage to the environment.

    You can also look for waste collection londonif you are looking for an efficient waste disposal team in London and the surrounding areas

    Thanks a lot buddy for the share.

    Keep doing good work.

    Blessings to you .

    Demand no 6 is not clear to me. Why would you object if energy is being generated from waste? Secondly in the indian context permitting only id card registered waste pickers to work, will bring in a new "license raj" and is a potential breeding ground for corruption. Uniting and formalizing structure is a great initiative but question is will it improve their lives or simply transfer them from one authoritative society command structure (municipality) to another? But something is better than nothing I guess. Please keep up the good work and bring it to navi mumbai too.
