ReThink Day is a new project the Telangana government has introduced to encourage the reuse and recycling of waste items in Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) throughout the state. The government’s overarching goal is to establish a sustainable “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” (RRR) programme in ULBs, which includes this effort.
Every Saturday from 8 am to 11 am, ULBs will participate in a variety of events as part of the “ReThink Day” initiative to spread the word about the RRR programme. To inform and involve the public, these initiatives will include ward-level talks on garbage management and recycling.
The RRR programme must be on the agenda of Self Help Group (SHG) meetings under the Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MAUD) department’s directive. Additionally, ULBs are instructed to guarantee the ongoing operation of permanent RRR Centres.
Records of used goods donated by citizens and recycling activities will be kept by ULBs. At the RRR centres, people can deposit things like plastic, used books, clothing, and shoes. Through partnerships with NGOs, start-ups, recyclers, and micro, small, and medium-sized companies (MSMEs), these goods will be repaired, repurposed, or recycled. The “ReThink knowledge hub” will support these collaborations.
There are currently 1,962 RRR centres running in 142 ULBs in Telangana. The ‘ReThink Day’ programme is being implemented with the intention of improving waste management procedures and fostering a more sustainable approach to trash in the state.
