Belagavi waste segregation
The Belagavi City Corporation (BCC) has implemented a strict rule to ensure sustainable waste management by mandating household waste segregation. Residents must now separate wet, dry, and hazardous waste at the source. Non-compliance will result in fines ranging from ₹500 to ₹5,000, reinforcing the importance of this rule.

Belagavi Implements Waste Segregation Rules with Penalties
Municipal workers now refuse to collect unsegregated waste. They direct wet waste to Turmuri’s processing plant, deliver dry waste to recycling companies, and send hazardous waste to scientific treatment facilities. The BCC continues to educate citizens about waste segregation through posters, announcements, and public campaigns.
Positive Results from Belagavi’s Waste Management Drive
Environmental engineer Hanumant Kaladagi reported that 70% of residents now segregate their waste. This practice has eased the burden on pourakarmikas, who previously had to sort mixed waste manually. Last week, officials collected over ₹1 lakh in fines from non-compliant households, highlighting the seriousness of enforcement.
Commissioner Shubha B. led the push for stricter adherence after inspections revealed poor compliance. Households that refuse to follow segregation norms now risk losing garbage collection services. This measure encourages more people to participate actively.
Belagavi is paving the way for a cleaner, greener future by ensuring better waste management practices. The BCC plans to enhance infrastructure and aim for 100% compliance in the coming months.
