MCD Identifies 100 Bulk Waste Generators, Issues Notices To Six

The Municipal Corporation of Dehradun (MCD) has identified around 100 bulk waste generators across the city as part of an effort to improve waste segregation and ensure large establishments manage waste at source. The drive, reported on Monday, has seen notices issued to six of the identified generators while registration of other establishments has been completed. Officials said the move targets hotels, restaurants, institutions, hospitals and commercial units that produce significant quantities of waste daily.

The civic body has directed the generators that received notices to register on the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) portal and to comply with prescribed waste management norms. It is planning registration camps at different city locations to assist representatives to complete the process and to explain compliance requirements and formalities. Training and guidance will be provided on segregation of wet and dry waste, recycling and operation of waste processing systems.

MCD intends to encourage establishments to process wet waste on-site and to ensure recyclable dry waste is handled rather than mixed with other refuse. The initiative is designed to reduce the amount of waste reaching the municipal collection and disposal system and to improve overall resource recovery. Officials said the corporation will continue to identify bulk waste generators to bring them under the prescribed management system.

The drive seeks to make bulk waste generators more responsible for the waste they produce while reducing pressure on civic infrastructure and operational budgets. Support measures will include on-site technical advice and guidance on recycling markets to promote segregation and divert materials from landfill. The civic body expects that clearer responsibilities and improved handling at source will ease collection burdens and enhance environmental outcomes for the city.
