Mawlynnong is known for its cleanliness. The waste is collected in the dustbins made of bamboo, directed to a pit and then used as manure. Travel magazine Discover India declared the village as the cleanest in Asia in 2003, and the cleanest in India in 2005. The phrase has since caught on.
Pathways are lined with bamboo baskets used as garbage bins. There's not a bit of plastic or other litter to be seen anywhere. Flowers on bushes and vines line the pathways.
