Surat has once again retained its position as India’s second cleanest city in the Swachh Bharat Survekshan. It is one of the six 5 star garbage-free cities. It is the first Urban Local Body (ULB) to introduce 100% door-to-door solid waste collection coverage, and it collects over 2200 MT of waste. In fact, the waste collected is used to generate power for the city.
