In
a release issued on Wednesday, the civic body said apartments could
either go in for biogas plants to process the wet waste or turn it in to
manure. They should either handover only dry and recylable waste to the
Corporation, or sell these to recyclers.

As
for households, the Corporation said it would collect the dry waste at
their door-step but it should be segregated from the wet waste.

The
directive on the wet waste was part of the Corporation’s efforts to
comply with the Central Government’s directive to promote segregated
waste collection from World Environment Day on June 5. The release also
said that commercial establishments should also hand over waste only
after segregation. The civic body issued the release after the
Corporation Commissioner K. Vijayakarthikeyan held a meeting with senior
officials.
