NEPCEMAC works on awareness, training, sorting at source, composting and clean-up campaigns.

Use two buckets: green for waste that rots (food, peels, tea leaves, flowers) and red for waste that does not (plastic, paper, glass, metal, cloth). Keep batteries, medicines, chemicals and electronics out of both.

Keep them out of both buckets. Store them safely in their own box or bag and hand them over separately — electronics can go to e-waste recyclers or repair shops. Never burn them or pour chemicals into drains.
