The Greater Chennai Municipal Corporation (GCMC) has asked bulk waste generators to segregate biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste on their premises. Failure to do so by a fixed time limit will lead to a penalty.
As per the rules, apartments, hotels and commercial establishments that are generating 100 kilograms of waste per day are considered bulk waste generators and are required to send their waste out. They have been asked to procure machines or engage service providers for the same and use the manure produced from wet waste and recycle non-degradable waste.
A meeting was held with residents’ welfare associations of apartments and representatives of commercial establishments earlier this week by the various regional deputy commissioners. The civic body has also released a list of eligible service providers on its website. reports DT Next.
