Tal Barahi Secondary School, Pokhara

At Tal Barahi Secondary School in Pokhara, waste is separated into three main categories to promote cleanliness and sustainability. Biodegradable waste, such as food scraps, fruit and vegetable peels, garden waste, and paper products, goes into the green bin, as these items naturally decompose and can be composted. Non-biodegradable and general waste, including plastic wrappers, bottles, containers, glass, metal cans, styrofoam, and soiled packaging, is collected in the blue bin, since the school does not use a separate bin for general waste this bin holds both recyclable and non-compostable materials. Hazardous or infectious waste, such as used masks, gloves, sanitary pads, batteries, and sharp objects, must be placed in the red bin to ensure proper handling and to avoid health risks. By following this system, students and staff help keep the school environment clean, safe, and eco-friendly.
