Vrindaban Dham has a local population of about 60,000 and 4 million visitors anually. There is at present no comprehensive action being made to deal with Solid Waste Management.
The call for action is immediate and its requirement urgent in the face of Vrindavan's ever increasing popularity as a pilgrimage town, with a constant stream of visitors that account in large measure for the waste generated.

Purpose of the project: 1) To establish an Integrated Management technique to manage and effectively handle the municipal solid waste with the objective of managing natural resources to lead us to reduction at the source itself. The basic goal of the project is to make a Vrindavan model pilgrimage town, environmentally sound and meeting the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene.
2) To establish a self sustained continual project of segregation and collection of the garbage by the actual and active participation of the public in the identified area of the project. And from there on to the rest of the township.
3) To save the water resources from the pollution.
4) To evolve a strategy for the maximum utilization of the waste by making compost and the reuse of waste items and plastic.
