“We can keep our surroundings clean and plastic free with the initiative by offering delicious food in exchange for plastic waste. This innovative step will contribute towards recycling of dry waste and also bring behavioral change in society towards promoting reduce, reuse and recycling of plastic waste. This scheme will be implemented in other wards of Najafgarh Zone,” he said.
