Door-to-door garbage collection in Malkapuram
GVMC’s prestigious project of door-to-door garbage
collection would be formally launched in Malkapuram in Zone IV on
Wednesday, Commissioner M.V. Satyanarayana said on Tuesday. The
programme would cover 19 wards in the zone.
An
awareness campaign would be conducted till July 23 to make the people
completely understand the programme which would be taken up in full
scale from July 24.
As many as 285 routes for
pushcarts, to collect the garbage from houses, were identified and 855
sanitary workers were being engaged.
Each pushcart
would have eight dustbins and some tubs and people have to drop their
household wet and dry garbage separately in the bins meant for them.
The
staff were given whistles (to be blown to indicate their arrival at the
doorstep), caps and gloves. Collector V. Sheshadri would launch the
project at Maridimamba Kalyana Mandapam in Malkapuram in the presence of
Commissioner of Police B. Shivadhar Reddy and VUDA Vice-Chairman
