From May 1, BMC to Collect of Hazardous Domestic Sanitary Waste

26 Apr 2025 CW Team

In a move aimed at improving waste management and safeguarding the health of sanitation workers, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will begin a special service for the targeted collection of segregated domestic sanitary waste across Mumbai starting May 1. This initiative is focused on items such as sanitary napkins, bandages, diapers, expired medicines, and other hazardous waste.

The BMC has already started registrations for the service, which is available to housing societies, women’s hostels, salons, educational institutions, and other businesses.

Senior civic officials revealed that Mumbai generates approximately 7,000-8,000 metric tonnes of waste daily, with nearly 70 to 80 tonnes of this waste consisting of sanitary items related to personal hygiene. These items include sanitary napkins, diapers, tampons, condoms, contaminated cotton, bandages, expired medication, needles, razors, and waste from beauty parlours like waxing strips and personal protective equipment (PPE), among others.

This initiative is part of BMC's ongoing efforts to ensure cleaner streets while also addressing the environmental and health concerns associated with the disposal of hazardous sanitary waste.
