Waste Segregation In Mangalore Gets More Serious: MCC Comes Up With An Action Plan

October 21: After receiving directions from high court, Mangalore City Corporation has come up with an action plan to implement waste segregation in 60 wards of Mangalore.
City Mayor Diwakar said an there has to be an effective coordination between corporators and officials to implement the Solid Waste Management (SWM).
The High Court has directed the MCC to implement the Solid Waste Management Rules 2016 effectively. It is necessary to ensure that only segregated waste reaches the dump yard. Large-scale waste generators should set up waste management units in their premises whereas, residents should segregate waste at source. The waste collection vehicles in the city will collect wet waste on all days except Fridays and dry waste will be collected only on Fridays.
