Seco has been implementing a decentralized community led waste management program at Koregaon Bhima village which is home to around 350 households and 1,500 people. The project started in 2016 by initiating a structured waste collection process.

The solid waste produced here is collected, segregated and then processed. Wet waste is sent for com-posting while dry waste is recycled. Seco also took the lead in creating a modern com-posting plant. This plant has created direct job and income opportunities in the local com-munity. More than 50 volunteers from Seco India are also actively engaged in supporting this initiative.
