The Community Toilet constructed using discarded plastic bottles by District Water and Sanitation Committee, Bongaigaon at Gandhi Maidan was inaugurated on 15th February 2021.
The community toilet was constructed using almost 8000 discarded plastic bottles instead of bricks. Cement, sand, mortar, putty, gypsum etc. filled in bottles were closed tightly for getting desired strength and then used as bricks for different stages of construction.
While inaugurating the toilet Deputy Commissioner Bongaigaon said that it is a very honest and creative effort to make Bongaigaon Plastic free and to ensure proper management of plastic waste dispose.
Further she added that the toilet will set a mark for this innovative way of 'reusing plastics'.
A plastic bottle needs almost 450 years to get decomposed which results in infertility of the soil and the initiative of such a wonderful way of reusing plastic bottles in construction purposes can definitely contribute in saving nature.
