How To Reach Bamboo Dustbins

Mawlynnong, Meghalaya, India
The signature bamboo dustbins are the most recognizable physical symbol of Mawlynnong's title as Asia's Cleanest Village. These hand-woven baskets are strategically placed outside every home and along every street, encouraging a universal "no littering" habit. They are a daily reminder of the commun ity's ingrained commitment to cleanliness and eco-friendly practices, which is central to the Khasi culture and is often linked to the strong influence of Christianity and missionary teachings on hygiene. The collected waste is segregated, with organic matter composted into manure and used in the fields.
