Karad, located in the Satara district of Maharashtra, has made significant strides in sanitary waste management. The city has successfully implemented a comprehensive system for the segregation, collection, and processing of sanitary and biomedical waste. On a daily basis, Karad handles around 300 to 350 kg of such waste, including items like sanitary napkins, diapers, and hygiene products. These are collected from various sources such as hospitals, clinics, homes, and public places. This achievement underscores the city’s commitment to sustainable and hygienic waste disposal practices, setting an example for other urban areas.
