The State Government totally banned carrying all type of polythene in the State vide notification No. STE-F(4)-2/2008 dated 7.7.2009.

However, the first State wide campaign to collect Polythene was launched in all the Urban Local Bodies of H.P. w.e.f 21.12.2009 to 26.12.2009 in which 23964.80 Kg of Polythene was collected by the ULBs.

In addition to this Municipal Councils of tourist hubs like Kullu and Manali collected about 40 tons & 6.7 tons of plastic respectively at their solid waste management plants. MC Kullu had executed an agreement for supplying all plastic waste to ACC Barmana for incineration in their kiln in lieu of other fuels. Nearly 9.8 tons of plastics (7 trucks) has been sent to ACC Barmana @ transportation cost of ` 12,000/- per truck which is borne by MC Kullu and about 25 tones plastic has been handed over to PWD.
