Waste Management
At Government Degree College for Men, Srikakulam, we are deeply committed to creating a clean, green, and environmentally-conscious campus. We understand the importance of managing waste responsibly and have put in place several initiatives to ensure the proper disposal and treatment of different types of waste. Our goal is to reduce the environmental impact of waste generated on our campus and contribute to a healthier, more sustainable environment.
Key Initiatives:
Solid Waste Management:
At our college, we prioritize the segregation of solid waste into two main categories: degradable and non-degradable. Degradable waste includes organic materials such as food scraps, paper, and garden waste, which can break down naturally over time. Non-degradable waste, on the other hand, includes materials like plastics, metals, and glass that do not decompose easily. This segregation is a crucial step towards minimizing the environmental impact of waste disposal.
Liquid Waste Management:
Dept. of Chemistry promotes green synthesis methods which significantly reduces the usage of solvents for practicals.Rain water is collected & stored for lab purpose. Water leaked from supply pipes RO water plantis channelled to water the plants.
Segregation Bins:
Different bins are strategically placed across the campus to facilitate waste segregation by students and staff. This simplifies the process of sorting waste into appropriate categories for efficient disposal.
Collection and Disposal:
Our college has established a streamlined waste collection system. Our dedicated team ensures that waste from various bins is collected regularly and sent for appropriate disposal or recycling, as per the waste type.
Vermi Composting:
As part of our commitment to sustainability, we have implemented a vermi composting system. Organic waste is processed through this method, converting it into nutrient-rich compost that enriches the soil and supports our green spaces.
