BBMP set to launch zero garbage model from July 1

The Hindu  

Ever since the garbage problem erupted in the city last August, the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike has been making noises about segregation of waste at source. The BBMP is now set to launch the zero garbage programme on a pilot basis in 30 wards across the city from July 1, BBMP commissioner M. Lakshminarayana, said at a talk organised by the Advocates’ Association, Bangalore, here on Wednesday. Of the 30 wards, the BBMP will take up the programme in 22 wards, while Indian Tobacco Company, the civic body’s partner in the project, will take it up in eight other wards. According to a senior BBMP official, the wards were chosen on the basis of the preparedness of the dry waste collection centres and mobilisation of manpower by the new garbage contractors.
