In October 2012, the corporation conducted Clean Cities Championship, which invited professionals from 57 municipalities across the state for effective waste management and was won by Khammam Municipal Corporation.[29][30][31] Following the event, Warangal became the first city in India to achieve 100% door-to-door MSW collection. About 70% of households started practicing two-bin MSW segregation into wet and dry waste. 420 cement bins and 128 dumpsters were removed from locations across Warangal making it a no dump city.[32] GWMC was able to reduce the MSW going to landfill by 30% to 40%.[33] and the dumpyard with significantly reduced load is, in phases, being converted into a nature park with vermicomposting sheds.[31]
