Damauli (Tanahun): Byas Municipality in Tanahun has generated income Rs 1.4 million from the sale of waste products in first seven months of the current fiscal year.
During the period from mid-July 2025 to mid-February 2026, the municipality has earned Rs 1,450,611 from the sale of recycled waste products.
Chief Administrative Officer Sukadev Lamsal informed that the municipality earned the income from the sale of garbage and glass items.
Facing the challenge of waste management, the municipality has started collecting segregated waste from households.
Lamsal explained that biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste is collected separately, and income is generated by selling sellable waste.
He said, ‘Collecting all waste in one place causes problems, so biodegradable are collected in a separate vehicle and non-biodegradable in another.’
Lamsal mentioned that selling waste has helped the municipality increase its internal resources.
Byas Municipality mayor Baikuntha Neupane said they have been segregating biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste from the very beginning of collection, and even within non-biodegradable waste, different items like glass, plastic, and paper are being separated and compressed with the use of machines.
The municipality has educated families, wards and school leaderships within the municipality on waste segregation methods.
The municipality is selling non-biodegradable waste such as paper, glass, and plastic collected from its office premises.
