The Corporation is set to install galvanised iron dustbins at public
places in response to incidences of plastic bins being set ablaze by the
public and anti-socials.

Around 200 tonnes of wastes is produced
by local bodies across the city every day. Under the Solid Waste
Management Scheme (SWM) in the city, the corporation allocated funds for
the purchase of dustbins, lorries and other vehicles to transport waste
to the dumpyards.   However, several plastic bins were set on fire by
locals, adversely affecting solid waste management in the city.

Following
this, the Corporation purchased 75 galvanised iron bins, each at a cost
of Rs 60,000. The bins have been stored at the old corporation building
till they are distributed.
