Indore beautifies public gardens with eye-catching art made from waste

Indore is turning waste into creativity through a unique initiative that combines environmental awareness with public art. Across several city gardens, striking installations made from scrap iron, discarded tires, plastic waste, and other recycled materials are attracting visitors of all ages. The artworks, which include animal sculptures, vehicles, balloons, and decorative trees, have transformed public spaces into vibrant attractions while promoting the importance of recycling.

According to the Mayor of Indore, the ‘Waste to Art’ initiative is designed to spread awareness about sustainable waste management and encourage residents to view discarded materials as valuable resources. The gardens have quickly become popular gathering spots for families and friends, drawing crowds eager to admire the innovative creations.

Residents believe the initiative could also encourage children to spend more time outdoors and engage with their surroundings instead of remaining focused on mobile screens. The project further strengthens Indore’s reputation as India’s cleanest city while enhancing the beauty and appeal of its public spaces.
