The trash man Cometh: consumerism & India's refuse problem
Commonweal, Nov 9, 2007 by Jo McGowan
Now that fewer people are willing to deal with vastly increased quantities of trash, the wealthy are at a loss. They continue to blame the unsightly accretions on the poor, but Pramukh has revealed some hard facts: the wealthier the area, the greater the quantity of garbage. The data are so clear that Pramukh has different pricing and collection systems, depending on where you live.
For slum neighborhoods, the rate is 35 percent lower and collections are half as often. That's more than adequate for the only people in India who still know how to recycle and conserve.
