WasteMgtDamphuDamphu town in Tsirang is grappling with waste management crisis. Mound of garbage choking every drainage system in the town clearly indicates the gravity of the situation and the need to implement waste regulation.

The District Thromde intends to implement waste regulation by February 2013.

The Damphu Municipal’s Executive Engineer, Tashi Chophel, said there wouldn’t have been such a mounting pressure on the municipal to strictly implement the regulation had the residents taken up the responsibility of segregating waste.

Most people lack civic sense. If they manage, segregate and take care of their own waste than I think we can prevent it…,”

“Most people lack civic sense. If they manage, segregate and take care of their own waste than I think we can prevent it…,” said Tashi Chophel.

Every morning, each household in Damphu town dump at least two buckets of waste and without any segregation. The waste is then taken to Bulkey landfill which is about 17 kilometers away from the town.

The Damphu Municipal collects three tons of waste in three days a week.

“In most of our awareness campaign we always say that waste is not waste but money. But many people here think it’s an odd job. So they are not forth coming in such activities,” said the waste-in-charge of Damphu Municipal, Chador Wangmo.
