New Delhi: Continuing its novel green initiative, the South Delhi Municipal Corporation on Thursday opened 23 more “Garbage Cafes’, offering free meals in restaurants for one kg of plastic wastes.
The SDMC had launched the innovative initiative on January 23 in Najafgarh Zone.

The plastic waste may include empty water bottles, cold drink bottles, plastic cans and other such items, said officials.
