JigmeLosel-IncomefromWasteJigme Losel Primary School in Thimphu earned about a million ngultrum by selling wastes last year. The school started the initiative of collecting and selling wastes in July last year.

Bag of books and wastes

The students of Jigme Losel Primary School carry not only books to school, but also carry a bag of wastes, mostly cardboard boxes and pet bottles. Parents also help the students carry wastes to school.

Parents say the initiative of collecting wastes and selling it to generate revenue for the school is a great initiative.


The cash earned from the sale of wastes has enabled the school to buy necessary items for the school such as water filters, pipes and a television set.

The school principal, Choki Dukpa says, “We realised that so much waste can be collected, and when school does the collection, it comes in large amount”.

Such initiatives to manage wastes are always welcomed by Thimphu Thromde that is struggling to tackle the growing waste problem in the city.

Support from Thromde

According to Thimphu Thrompon, Kinlay Dorjee, the landfill at Mamilakha is getting full day-by-day, and there is an urgent need to look for an alternative site, adding problem to the environment.

“Therefore, rather than starting another Mamilakha, we want to segregate waste and recycle whatever could be recycled. So, all these initiative by the schools, by the graduates, and the public at large to segregate recycles waste- these are commendable job and the city would definitely support such initiatives”.

Meanwhile, the school intends to continue with the initiative that earned them about a million, last year.
