New Delhi: The South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) has opened a garbage cafe to dispose off plastic waste in Najafgarh zone. Under the concept, free meals will be given to the citizens who will bring plastic waste to the cafe.
For bringing 1 kg of plastic waste, free meal will be provided by Diamond Sweets Restaurant in Vardhman Mall in Dwarka. The meals can include breakfast/lunch/dinner. The plastic waste includes empty water bottles, cold drink bottles, plastic canes and other plastic items.
