The Ghaziabad municipal corporation has issued notices to 968 bulk waste generators for allegedly failing to comply with solid waste disposal norms. These include 436 residential societies and high-rises, and 532 establishments, like banquet halls and industrial units.
“The purpose of us sending notices is so that bulk waste generators comply with norms. If the bulk waste generators start processing waste, there will be a substantial reduction in the quantity of waste the corporation processes daily. The bulk waste generators have to simply segregate dry and wet waste and convert the wet waste to manure,” Mr MS Tanwar, municipal commissioner told Hindustan Times.
The civic body has asked the concerned parties to comply within two weeks to avoid penalty.
