At a time when the country's richest civic body Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is struggling to find more space for dumping the garbage, a small municipal council in neighbouring Thane district is experimenting with organic way to tackle the problem.

Vice president of Kulgaon-Badlapur municipal council Shridhar Patil told reporters today that the civic body is undertaking a pilot project where the residents are given waste baskets with a culture which decomposes garbage quickly.
