MARGHERITA, Nov 19: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle (RRR) Centre opened on Tuesday at the Margherita Municipal Board office premises, marking a significant step in waste management under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan initiative.
The facility aims to streamline the collection of household items such as old clothes, books, toys, and shoes, promoting sustainable waste practices in the region.
Anand Kumar Sharma, chairman of the Margherita Municipal Board, inaugurated the centre. During the event, he urged residents to donate unused items to the RRR Centre instead of discarding them improperly, emphasising community responsibility in reducing waste.
This marks the second RRR Centre established in Margherita, following the success of the first, which was opened last year.
The initiative highlights the Municipal Board’s commitment to fostering environmental awareness and a recycling culture within the town.
The inauguration ceremony saw participation from key officials, including engineer Jitul Nath, executive officer Dheeraj Bhattacharjee, Denis L Gangte, urban technical officer, Sanjeev Das, finance management officer, and Arunima Barman, city project officer of the Swachh Bharat Mission of the Margherita Municipal Board, along with all ward commissioners and staff, showcasing collective support for the project.
