Waste Management at Prestige Evergreen

In a growing city like Bangalore, effective waste management is not just a civic duty—it's essential for sustainable living. At Prestige Evergreen, located along Varthur Road in the vibrant Whitefield area, responsible waste management is an integral part of the community's daily life. From day one, the project has been designed to reduce its environmental impact while promoting cleanliness and good health for its residents.

Why Waste Management Matters

Bangalore generates over 4,000 tonnes of solid waste every day, and the Whitefield region—being a major residential and IT hub—contributes significantly to that number. Without proper disposal systems, waste ends up in landfills, pollutes groundwater, and creates serious health and environmental risks.

That's why Prestige Evergreen has implemented a sustainable waste management system, ensuring that garbage is not only collected but also treated and disposed of in a responsible manner.

Waste Segregation at Source

At Prestige Evergreen, waste segregation begins at every home. Residents are encouraged and educated to separate their waste into three categories:

• Dry Waste: Includes paper, plastic, glass, and metals.
• Wet Waste: Organic kitchen waste like food scraps and vegetable peels.
• Hazardous Waste: Batteries, e-waste, and medical waste.

Dedicated color-coded bins are placed throughout the residential complex to make segregation easy and intuitive. This simple step goes a long way in ensuring that recyclable and compostable materials are not mixed with general waste.

Composting Organic Waste

One of the most notable initiatives at Prestige Evergreen is its in-house organic composting system. All wet waste collected from the residential towers is processed in a composting unit within the community premises. Over time, this organic waste turns into nutrient-rich compost that is used for the landscaped gardens within the project.

Not only does this reduce the volume of waste sent to municipal landfills, but it also promotes a circular system where waste is turned into a useful resource.

Partnering with Authorized Recyclers

Dry waste like plastics, glass, and cardboard is collected separately and handed over to certified waste management vendors. These vendors ensure that all recyclable materials are processed according to environmental regulations. Prestige Evergreen has tied up with BBMP-approved agencies that specialize in ethical recycling practices.

This partnership helps the community do its part in reducing the pressure on Bangalore’s already overloaded landfills.

Safe Disposal of E-Waste and Hazardous Waste

Electronic waste and hazardous items are collected during scheduled drives organized within the community. Residents are informed in advance and encouraged to dispose of old electronics, batteries, and used CFLs responsibly. These are then handed over to authorized e-waste handlers for safe recycling and disposal, preventing harmful chemicals from entering the environment.

Resident Awareness and Involvement

The success of waste management at Prestige Evergreen depends largely on active resident participation. Regular awareness sessions are held for adults and children alike. Notices, posters, and digital communication keep the community informed about do's and don'ts.

Moreover, the residents' welfare association (RWA) works closely with housekeeping staff and vendors to monitor daily waste operations and ensure standards are maintained.

A Model for Sustainable Living

The waste management system at Prestige Evergreen is a reflection of the Prestige Group’s commitment to building eco-conscious communities. Located in one of Bangalore’s busiest corridors—Whitefield and Varthur Road—Prestige Evergreen stands as a model for how urban living can be both luxurious and sustainable.

Through efficient segregation, composting, recycling, and resident education, the project reduces its environmental footprint and sets a benchmark for other residential developments in Bangalore.

By integrating sustainable waste practices into everyday living, Prestige Evergreen is helping to build a cleaner, healthier future. For residents, this means not only living in a beautiful home but also contributing to a greener Bangalore—one responsible action at a time.
