Group of youth who call themselves Youth in
Blue (YIB) in Bhutan have started a waste management initiative to drive home
the message that blue collar jobs are respectable, while productively
addressing an issue confronted by the country, especially in urban areas. Initiation
of this project is to promote blue-collar job. YIB has dispatched three
truckloads of waste and earned about Nu 82,000.
YIB collects all sorts of wastes like PET bottles, glass, metal scrap,
paper, biodegradable and non-degradable wastes, including e-waste, from each
household. After the collection, the waste is segregated and the biodegradable
wastes are used for agricultural purposes while those with commercial value are
sold and the rests are taken to the landfill. Thus, the 3Rs – reuse, recycle
and reduce are being implemented in this project.
