Aalo, May 29: An RRR centre (reduce, reuse and recycle centre) was inaugurated by Genya Ori ZPM at Ward 11 Power house colony, Aalo in West Siang District in presence of NGOs, SHGs, officers, staff and Safai Mitras of the Department of Urban Development and Housing on May 25 last.  The Department of UD & Housing has also set up RRR centers in various other localities of Aalo Township for the ease of the citizens which will remain open from May 20 to June 5 next.
An RRR centre is a one stop solution for citizens, institutions, commercial enterprises etc., to deposit or donate unused or used plastic items, cloths, footwear, books and toys. Once collected, these items would be handed over to different stakeholders to be refurbished for reused or would be made into new products.
These centers have been set up under “Meri Life Mera Swachh Shehar” a national campaign launched by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) under Swachh Bharat Mission-U 2.0 as a run up to World Environment Day. This campaign will not only strengthen the resolve of SBM 2.0 to reduce, reuse and recycle (RRR) waste but also align with LiFE (Lifestyle for Environment) Mission’s objective of undertaking collective action for protecting and conserving the environment by adopting sustainable living habits.
The Department also created awareness on RRR centers among citizens via door to door IEC drives in all the colonies of Aalo and urged the citizens to take the “Mission LiFE Pledge”.
