MCC Will Soon Start Door-to-Door Waste Collection on Its Own: ₹8.3cr to be Spent Annually For The Same

Mangalore City Corporation (MCC), which will soon start door-to-door waste collection and transportation in 60 wards of the city on its own, will have to shell out nearly Rs 8.3 crore a year towards the salary of drivers, supervisors, loaders and helpers as well as the maintenance of vehicles.
The MCC has already procured 153 vehicles, including 30 tipper trucks, 107 jeep tippers and 16 compactors, to commence the door-to-door waste collection and transportation on its own.

The urban local body has decided to invite tenders to avail the services of required staff and maintenance of vehicles on outsourcing basis. While Rs 7.2 crore will have to be sanctioned towards salary, ESI, EPF and service charge to hire workers, Rs 1.1 crore will have to be reserved for the maintenance of 153 vehicles every year.

The city corporation has already prepared an action plan to get manpower required for waste collection and the same has been approved by the council. The city corporation will be able to commence the door-to-door waste collection on its own once the tender processes for appointment of workers and maintenance of vehicles are completed.
