What is the Solid Waste Management Round Table Bengaluru? The Solid Waste Management Round Table (SWMRT) was formed in October 2009 by a group of like-minded organizations and highly skilled individuals who have been working to build awareness of and promote the adoption of best practices in waste management at houses, apartment complexes, corporations, schools/colleges, and public offices across Bengaluru. The SWMRT is run as an initative under The Anonymous Indian, a charitable trust.
The vision of the SWMRT is to bring the Municipal Waste Management Rules 2000 and its recommendations to life in Bengaluru by promoting the all important basic step of segregating waste at source and adoption of the 3R's - reduce, reuse, recycle.
The SWMRT believes that everyone needs to exercise their responsibility, be it social, corporate, or otherwise, and start managing waste from the point of generation, whether in houses, apartment complexes, corporations, schools/colleges, or public offices.
