Solid Waste Management[edit | edit source]
The project for composting waste within homes, which is being implemented across the Tirunelveli Corporation area, has been initially introduced in the V. M. Chatram localities. Under this project, it has been recommended that a 5-foot-tall PVC pipe be buried near the homes of approximately 150 households in this area, and organic waste collected in the homes be filled into it. The waste placed in this manner will transform into natural manure (compost) within 45 days.[4]
