The Andhra Pradesh Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MAUD) department has asked its all civic body chiefs to submit proposals for establishing garbage transfer stations in all the urban local bodies (ULBs). This is a part of the Clean Andhra Pradesh (CLAP) initiative of the government. As part of the initiative, three garbage bins will be provided to each household in all the ULBs so that the waste is segregated at the source.

The state government is planning to launch its other high-profile campaign as part of CLAP, with the slogan ‘garbage free, bin, free litter free’ in all the ULBs, in July. As a part of the program, waste transfer stations and promotion of segregation of wastes at the household level will be carried out, as per a report in The New Indian Express.
