Commercial units to pay for waste collection

Written By Unknown on Minggu, 21 September 2014 | 22.10

NEW DELHI: The South Delhi Municipal Corporation has decided to charge commercial establishments for waste collection. Bulk generators like hospitals, hotels, restaurants, schools will have pay for garbage collection, depending on number of trips that have to be made by the private concessionaire, officials said.

Sources say, the civic agency will also soon make waste segregation mandatory for bulk generators. "We have to deploy additional manpower to collect waste from these establishments. These establishments will be charged as per the number of truck trips that have to be made,'' said Manish Gupta, commissioner, South corporation. This move is likely to be implemented by East and North corporations too.

AAP, however, has attacked the BJP-led corporation for introducing the scheme. This is following reports that the scheme will be extended to households in the future. "Nearly 60% of the budget allocated to the municipal corporations for carrying out development work remained unspent in the financial year 2013-14. In case of South Delhi, the corporation's budget was Rs 319 crore in 2012 and Rs 456 crore in 2013, for improving sanitation. Can it show how much of this amount was spent? If it could not spend even half of this amount, then what is the reason behind the proposal to impose charges on residents?" said an Aam Aadmi Party spokesperson.

But, the corporation was quick to clarify that the scheme was being limited to bulk generators. "In the proposal, there is no plan to charge residents for waste collection. The scheme is only for bulk generators,'' clarified Gupta. Leaders from BJP, the ruling party in the three corporations, said that there is no plan to charge residents for waste collection.
