Local units across country turning waste into wealth and wonder

Around 13.5 tonnes of garbage collected daily from Dhankuta Municipality is turned into compost manure by mixing the decayed garbage with soil, which is later used to fertilise a flower garden.

Waste management is a serious issue in most of the city markets in the country. The national capital, Kathmandu, has been struggling to manage solid waste for a long time. However, some local units outside Bagmati Province have not only managed waste efficiently but also been generating income from solid waste.
