Episode 4 of our reel series is here. 🎙️♻️

Hasiru Dala, in collaboration with Alliance Of Indian Wastepickers, continues this series exploring what India’s new Solid Waste Management Rules 2026 mean — and why policy integration for waste pickers is critical for dignity, inclusion, and systemic change.

In this episode, Chinmayi, Director, Hasiru Dala, speaks about how inclusion of waste pickers must become part of everyday governance.

From recognition and registration to inclusion in dry waste collection and recycling systems, the new rules place responsibility on governments, local bodies, and institutions to ensure waste pickers are not left behind.

As Chinmayi reminds us: “Inclusion isn’t optional — it’s built into the system.” ✊🏽

📍30 May 2026 | Bengaluru ♻️

When Geetha from Kittur Rani Mahila Sangha addressed 228 solid waste management officials at the Government of Karnataka’s workshop on SWM Rules 2026, she spoke not just as a participant — but as a peer shaping the future of inclusive waste management.

She shared the collective journey of waste pickers through Dry Waste Collection Centers, Material Recovery Facilities and initiatives like the Milk Cover and Hair Recycling Campaigns — demonstrating how waste management systems become stronger when waste pickers are placed at the centre.

The SWM Rules 2026 mark an important step towards formal recognition, dignity, and inclusion for waste pickers within urban waste management systems.

Mr. Selvamani, State Mission Director (SBM-U), Swachh Bharat Mission - Urban, acknowledged the SHG-led waste picker model as one of the most effective approaches to inclusive solid waste management and encouraged its adoption across Urban Local Bodies in Karnataka.

The overwhelming response from over 228 ULB officials reflected a growing recognition that inclusive and community-led systems are the future of solid waste management.
