There is hardly any garbage management in Guwahati. Though it is universally accepted that garbage should be separated at the sourest for easy reprocessing, it is not at all followed in Guwahati. Guwahati is following the old system of collecting and dumping at some suburban area. This not only spread diseases in the locality, but will take 50/100 years to become soil. Guwahati should make it compulsory to separate garbage at sourse I.e. In the kitchen itself into wet and dry garbage. Every locality should have a compost unit to convert the wet garbage into compost. The dry garbage should be given to recycling industries for paper, plastic etc.
