Dry Waste Recycling
Waste segregation is a crucial initial step towards addressing the mounting waste problem. Efficient segregation at the source can maximize recycling rates up to 90% and divert a significant amount of waste from entering landfills. The current linear economy model of make-use-throw leads to the loss of valuable resources that could otherwise be repurposed into new products, extending their lifespan.
By implementing proper waste segregation practices, we can contribute to a more circular economy where resources are recycled and reused. Did you know that 20-30% of our daily household waste can be recycled through an organized chain of recyclers like Raddiwala?
How it works
- Site survey conducted by RUR's team of experts
- Submission of a waste management plan based on the 3-bin and 7-bin approach
- Placement of color-coded and labeled bins at predetermined locations
- Education and awareness sessions for residents and housekeeping staff on proper waste segregation
- Signing of a simple Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between RUR and the dry waste recycling agency
- Scheduled periodic collection of dry waste
- Provision of rewards or incentives for proper waste segregation and participation in the recycling program

Testimonials
I’ve always believed that nature has to be nurtured, and if students can build that skill, it can go on for life. And that is why I met Ms. Monisha Narke, who has a very strong vision of saving the environment and conserving it; after meeting her and working with her, things have really changed the school. We have brought in composting, we have brought in organic farming, we have brought in so many green activities in this school, it is so beautiful to see children, even in the lockdown period, growing small saplings and planting it in their house and sharing videos and talking about it.
RUR was recommended to us by our committee member Mr. Devang Shah. We have been very satisfied with the experience, right from giving information, giving a quotation, training our staff and children, delivering the material, and finally follow up for the year. We have absolutely no complaints about the product. I would definitely recommend RUR with a capital YES because they have been very co-operative in addressing any issues that have arisen, and are there to guide and help us at any time.
We are happy to state that after a comprehensive study of various types of equipment and processes for composting, we found the solution offered by RUR as the most suitable to our requirements and decided to go for it. We got wonderful support from knowledgeable scientific staff of RUR in residents training, process monitoring and guidance till confidence build-up. They motivated and hand held us to understand the process of composting scientifically such as by regular monitoring of pH and temperature. We got the compost analysed by Indian Institute of Soil & Water Conservation, Dehradun, showing highly satisfying results.
We have known Monisha Narke, her team and organisation from the first time they set up, building up a strong relationship of partners in awareness raising programs. Monisha is a passionate individual who by her work through RUR has demonstrated their in-house invention of science based, tried and tested, patented solution in waste management. I have personally visited at lease two sites in Mumbai where RUR has implemented their composting solutions to successfully tackle wet waste of housing societies. Monisha and her organisation are an excellent example of a successful entrepreneurship venture which efficiently addresses the critical and grave challenges of waste management sorely needed not only in Mumbai but other cities in India as well.
FAQ
Wet waste- All biodegradable waste such as fruit vegetable peels, fish meat bones, leftover food, tea leaves, coffee grounds etc.
Dry waste: All dry recyclables such as newspaper, plastic bottles and containers, Tetra Pak cartons, glass bottles, plastic wrappers, cardboard, E waste
Trash: Also known as hazardous waste, includes sanitary waste, used tissue papers, soiled containers, sharps such as broken bottles, blades etc.
The dry waste from source is collected and further segregated at a common space to place each type of waste in colour coded and labeled big bins. A responsible recycler visits the premise periodically and collects when a considerable amount of waste is accumulated and pays in the form of cash or points that can be encashed for recycled items.
If you can collect upto 100kg dry waste per day daily, daily pickups can be arranged. However, the pickups generally happen through trucks which also generate GHGs. Therefore to make it environmentally and economically viable it is imperative to give maximum possible dry waste per pickup.
