Understanding
What solid waste management means
What is solid waste management?
Solid waste management is the systematic handling of municipal waste from collection to final disposal — ensuring environmental sustainability and public health at every step.
With 20 years of proven expertise, Coodu Trust runs comprehensive waste operations end to end — door-to-door collection, source segregation, transportation, composting and final disposal. Our largest operation serves 54,000+ households across 48 wards of Dindigul Municipal Corporation, with a managed workforce of 400+ sanitation workers.
Alongside municipal operations, we build industrial partnerships and zero-waste initiatives — operating ECO-MAC composting plants that process 2 tons of organic waste a day and achieving 70%+ segregation at source. The result is cleaner cities, reduced landfill burden and improved environmental health.

Why this work matters
The challenge on the ground — and our answer
The challenge
Waste piling up in residential streets
Without reliable collection, municipal waste accumulates in residential areas — threatening public health across whole city wards.
Our response
Door-to-door collection at city scale
Daily collection from 54,000+ households across 48 wards of Dindigul Municipal Corporation — 90 tons of municipal waste managed every day.
The challenge
Mixed waste heads straight to landfill
When wet, dry and hazardous waste travel together, nothing can be recovered — and the landfill burden keeps growing.
Our response
Segregation at the source
A three-bin system backed by continuous training and monitoring delivers 70%+ segregation efficiency — among the highest in Tamil Nadu — with zero-waste programmes targeting 100% diversion from landfills.
The challenge
Organic waste dumped instead of used
Wet waste that could feed farmland rots in dumps — wasted as a resource and polluting the environment.
Our response
Composting waste into value
ECO-MAC composting plants process 2 tons of organic waste a day — 730+ tons of high-quality compost a year for agricultural use.
The challenge
Sanitation work without safety or dignity
Waste work is too often done without proper equipment, training or care for the people who do it.
Our response
A trained, protected workforce
400+ sanitation workers with professional training, safety equipment, regular health checkups and welfare programmes — dignity of labor built in.
