CONVERT HOUSE TRASH INTO TREAURE

Turning household trash into treasure in Chennai is not only possible but actively supported by various community initiatives, NGOs, and municipal programs designed to promote a circular economy. 

From turning kitchen waste into compost to upcycling plastic bottles into art, Chennai residents can convert garbage into valuable resources.

  • Social Media Groups: Join local Chennai-based green groups (like on WhatsApp or Instagram) that organize community cleanups and share, barter, or donate unwanted items.
