Solid waste management to get a facelift in Vadodara

Sailesh Naik, executive engineer, VMC, said: 8220;Most residents ask us to carry out the waste collection drive at a particular time of the day, which is not possible. With the new personal waste bins, residents as well as collectors can work with ease.8221;

In the initial stage, the VMC plans to install 100 litre bins at each residence.

8220;The ongoing collection is not being monitored properly by the ward offices and most of the collectors miss out on smaller societies in their route of collection,8221; said Naik.

He further informed that the ward offices have been given a new notification on the monitoring and registration of collection and disposal of the waste at the landfill site.

8220;The routes have been specified and the points of collection have been reduced from 650 to 240, so that the collectors can cater to all the spots. The decreased collection spots will be coupled up with increased door-to-door collection, so as to make solid waste collection an uninterrupted process,8221; Naik added.
