As part of its’ Advanced Waste Management System (AWMS) Rourkela Municipal Corporation (RMC) has introduced QR code-enabled door-to-door garbage collection system for improving door-to-door waste collection monitoring system and to overcome the challenges such as sanitation staff skipping houses and to strengthen its’ waste collection system including the cleanliness of Public & Community Toilets.
Rourkela Municipal Corporation is focusing on 100% collection of segregated household waste in order to process the same at its’ Micro Composting Centers (MCCs) and Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs). For this purpose BOVs and LCVs have been engaged; which daily reach near the households and collect the garbage.
The Swachha Sathis, Sueprvisors and several NGOs of the city are also sensitizing the citizen to segregate the household waste into dry and wet and give it to the sanitation workers separately every day.
