To solve this problem atleast in a small way and to reduce the workload on BBMP, the residents of Koramangala 1st Block under the banner of Koramangala First Block Residents’ Welfare Association thought of installing leaf composters on streets and making residents involved in composting leaves around their homes. These composters are metallic structure and are cemented in and has a lid, so that people don’t throw garbage into it .
On Saturday Transport Minister Ramalinga Reddy inaugurated the composter by putting leaves and some microbes into it in Koramangala 1st Block.
