Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis today told the Legislative Assembly that from May onwards, dry and wet garbage will be segregated and scientifically disposed in the state.

Compost is generated from wet garbage for fertiliser.

All municipal corporations and councils can sell the compost generated by them under the brand name- Harit Maha Compost, he said.
