Along with the spraying activity there is the management of the entire city’s garbage to maintain a healthy and hygienic environment for the citizens of Kozhikode. Being a forward thinking progressive Municipal Corporation, the Kozhikode has set up a model project for the management of the city’s solid waste. It is an innovative project taken up by the initiative of the Municipal Corporation as also its citizen team called the Kudumbasree volunteers. They have formed a fleet of cargo carrying auto rickshaws for carting the waste from fixed points to a particular storage site. There is total emphasis on the segregation of all the waste materials.

The waste material is segregated into biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste. The special emphasis is on recycling of all the material that can be re-cycled like glass, paper and metals, especially aluminum which is present in large quantities and is almost hundred percent recyclable.
