Integrated Solid Waste Management in Nalasopara, Vasai-Virar.

In Nalasopara the difference between a clean street and a heap is usually whether waste is separated and collected at the building. We help societies and commercial complexes set up segregation at source, a proper collection point, arrangements with the corporation's collectors or an authorised agency for dry waste, and simple records. For larger complexes we combine this with on-site processing of the wet fraction.

Nalasopara is one of the most crowded parts of Vasai-Virar, spread on both sides of its railway station. The western side includes Sopara, an old settlement with a long history as a port, and its older villages, wadis and tanks. The eastern side grew much faster and more recently, largely as buildings of five to seven storeys raised on former paddy and low ground, many of them affordable homes for families who work in Mumbai. Roads, drainage and public open ground have lagged behind construction, and parts of the town now flood in heavy monsoon rain.
