- More than 90% of ULBs of Uttarakhand have visited the Sanitation Park to understand the model and replicate in their respective ULBs.
- Decentralised SWM option is best suited for Nagar Panchayats and Municipal Councils having waste generation less than 10-15 tons. 5 ton capacity of sanitation park can be created
- Citizen’s participate and pay service charge when guaranteed quality service delivery is ensured 24/7
- Source segregation happens when supply meets the demand
