Garbage segregation non-negotiable: Goel

Garbage segregation at source is mandatory and non-negotiable, and all citizens have to compulsorily segregate the waste they generate from Monday, said Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike Commissioner Rajneesh Goel. “We have given them copies of the High Court directive on garbage segregation and the public notices issued for both citizens and bulk generators.” The BBMP has organised a crash course on segregation for the various apartment welfare associations on Saturday at the IPP Centre at 6.30 p.m. Only option With the Mandur landfill not accepting any garbage from Monday, segregation of waste at source is the only option now. Commissioner Goel said that nearly 40 per cent of garbage come from bulk generators. Of the remaining 60 per cent, wet waste constitutes around 60 per cent, dry waste around 30 per cent, while inerts were 10 per cent.
