A housing society in Mumbai’s Kandivali on Friday installed a three-tonne waste segregation machine to manage its own garbage. Gokul Heaven Society in Kandivali’s Thakur Complex has spent Rs 8 lakh on the machine. Each member’s contribution of Rs 200 per month also includes maintenance of the machine. The plant can generate up to 30 kg manure for 100 kg garbage - DNA PhotoThe machine was inaugurated by local MLA Atul Bhatkalkar. So the approximate per month cost that a resident will bear would be Rs 200," said R Sawant, secretary, Gokul Heaven Housing Society.
