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.
