15 Jul 2024 CW Team

The identified establishments, including hotels, restaurants, shopping malls, and corporate offices, generate significant quantities of waste daily. MCG officials have emphasised the need for these entities to adopt systematic waste segregation and disposal practices to reduce environmental impact.

MCG Commissioner Mukesh Kumar Ahuja stated that the corporation will work closely with these commercial establishments to implement effective waste management strategies. The focus will be on segregating biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste at the source, promoting recycling, and minimising landfill usage.

To facilitate compliance, MCG plans to conduct regular inspections and provide necessary guidance to bulk waste generators. The corporation also intends to introduce penalties for non-compliance, ensuring that all establishments adhere to the prescribed waste management norms.

In addition to regulatory measures, MCG is considering incentives for establishments that demonstrate exemplary waste management practices. These incentives could include reductions in property taxes and public recognition for their efforts in maintaining a clean and sustainable environment.

The identification of bulk waste generators is part of MCG's broader efforts to enhance urban sanitation and sustainability. By targeting large-scale waste producers, the corporation aims to significantly reduce the overall waste burden on the city's infrastructure and improve the quality of life for residents.

MCG's proactive approach underscores the importance of collaborative efforts between the public and private sectors in addressing urban waste management challenges. This initiative is expected to set a precedent for other cities in India to follow, promoting a cleaner and greener urban environment.
