Mumbai, May 14, 2025: No one has time to stop in Mumbai—everyone's always on the move, rushing ahead.
But in this daily hustle, how many of us actually pay attention to the waste we generate every day?
For a cleaner Mumbai, a small change is enough!
Our city produces thousands of tons of waste daily, and if it’s not managed properly, it affects our
health and surroundings. But it’s not that hard either. A small change, a new habit, and the
desire to make our city cleaner and more beautiful—that’s all it takes.
To untangle the waste problem, we need to start at home
Disposing of waste is one of our daily responsibilities. But not all waste should simply be thrown
away. Things like composting and recycling can help reuse a significant amount of waste. That’s
why waste segregation is essential. Once we adopt this simple habit, the rest becomes much
easier.
What is the BMC doing?
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) does more than just collect and dispose of
waste. It is implementing various measures to manage waste efficiently. There’s a strong focus
on waste segregation, and advanced processing centers are being used to extract recyclable
materials. Organic compost is being made from wet waste. In addition, fines are imposed on
those who break the rules, and special cleanliness drives are being conducted in public spaces.
What can we do?
You don’t have to do anything big—even a few small habits can make a big difference.
Segregating wet and dry waste at home, reducing plastic usage, avoiding littering in public
places, and composting wherever possible—these four simple practices alone can transform
our city’s image.
Mumbai is changing—are you ready?
Big plans and initiatives for cleanliness are important, but the real strength lies with the people
of Mumbai. The BMC is doing its part, but if each of us becomes a little more responsible, the
change will happen faster. If we want to preserve the beauty of Mumbai, we need to start with
ourselves. Come on, let’s make this change happen!
