YouSee and Indian Grameen Services have partnered to operate a composting unit in Mahalaxmi Nagar, Indore. The composting unit processes organic waste collected by sweepers which is dumped into pits, mixed with sand and cow dung, and converted into fertilizer through decomposition. Composting helps prevent global warming and benefits soil and plant growth by recycling nutrients.
