Training for Action: Composting and Waste Management in Dhunche

CLEAN UP NEPAL, with support from ICIMOD and in collaboration with Gosaikunda Rural Municipality, successfully conducted a one-day training on waste management and composting in Dhunche. The training brought together 26 participants, including 4 men, with a focus on practical composting techniques. Most attendees were hotel and business owners—key contributors to the area’s organic waste stream.

The program was formally inaugurated by Mr. Dawa Sidar Tamang, Ward Chairperson of Ward 6, Dhunche. During the event, Mr. Kaisang Nurpu Tamang, Chairperson of Gosaikunda Rural Municipality, highlighted the urgent need for sustainable organic waste management in Dhunche Bazaar, noting that while many hotels generate significant organic waste, they often lack space and resources to manage it properly. He emphasized the importance of managing waste at the household and business level, and commended the initiative for addressing a critical community need.

This training marks a meaningful step toward sustainable waste practices in the Langtang region.
