Separate bins for dry, wet garbage proposed

HYDERABAD: Come August 15, Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) proposes to implement two-bin system of garbage collection in 20 selected colonies to segregate wet and dry garbage at household level itself.Garbage collectors in the city would be educated on the advantages of two bin collection system as they will be able to sell the dry waste material easily at the franchise counters of manufactures without having to segregate dry and wet garbage them manually in unhygienic conditions. GHMC commissioner M T Krishna Babu on Tuesday had a meeting with the Federation of Colony Welfare Associations. He announced that GHMC would give preference to take up developmental works in the colonies that come forward to implement the two-bin system completely. The corporation proposes to provide 500 additional dustbins in addition to the existing 4,000 bins, he added.The commissioner further said that GHMC is modernising the traffic signals with surveillance cameras in 150 junctions.
