Urban local bodies in Telangana will collect user charges for waste collection, as per revised charges announced by the Municipal Administration and Urban Development Department.
A private agency will collect the amount after categorizing waste from the domestic and commercial units. The Municipal Administration and Urban Development department has revised the waste collection charges in towns based on the commercial establishment. The department has proposed to increase the charges from Rs 500 to Rs 10,000 every month depending on the category, reports HansIndia.com.
The department has asked the municipalities to prepare proposals to hand over the waste collection responsibility to private agencies, and in turn, allow them to collect the user charges for waste.
