Traders asked to segregate non-degradable solid waste
Corporation Commissioner V.P.Thandapani has appealed to traders and other commercial establishments in the city to extend their full cooperation to the civic body in its efforts to improve solid waste management in the city.
The Corporation has planned to evolve a system of collecting garbage from commercial establishments to a specified time-table.
Traders should segregate degradable and non-degradable wastes and hand them over to the Corporation workers properly.
Similarly, all commercial establishments should also have diaphragm chambers to filter out solid wastes from the sewage let out into the underground sewer system,
Mr.Thandapani said speaking at a consultative meeting with owners of commercial establishments in the city on Saturday.
He also appealed to the traders and business establishments to pay the service charges for collection of solid wastes to the Corporation promptly.
Mr.Thandapani also held a meeting with approved draughtsmen and requested them to ensure that all buildings in the city complied with government regulations.
