PCMC plans to implement new garbage scheme in other wards

The objective behind implementing the scheme is to maintain cleanliness in the area, says Additional Municipal Commissioner R.B. Konde. The sight of a overflowing garbage bin sickens everyone, besides it creates unhygienic conditions. The response to the scheme has been encouraging and plans are afoot to start similar schemes, after the elections are over. In the B zone, it is to be implemented in Chinchwad Sudarshannagar while wards in the Kasarwadi-Bhosari and the rural zones are yet to be decided.

In Pradhikaran, Thursdays and Sundays have been fixed for collecting waste collected from gardens. The PCMC had earlier planned to provide special bags for garbage collection in each of the houses. The bags have not yet been provided, but still the residents have been assisting the staff. Corporator Dr .Geeta Aphale said that the residents do not segregate the wet and the dry garbage but they will be urged to do so. Meetings with residents are being organised to seek suggestions regarding the scheme, she said.
