Bins to be distributed to sanitation teams

The Hindu  

Over a year after removing garbage bins from the public spaces of the city as part of ‘bin free city’ campaign, GHMC is all set to bring back bins, albeit in a different format Instead of the blue bins, however, this time it will be wheeled bins, to be distributed to the sanitation teams across the city. The corporation launched the ‘bin free city’ campaign last year in the first quarter, with its aims set on the Swachh Survekshan rankings by the Central government. The idea was to compensate by increasing the number of transfer stations to cover the whole city, so that the Swachh Auto Trolleys could directly deposit the garbage there. The new bins are being provided by Ramky Enviro Engineers Limited, the city’s solid waste management concessionaire firm, as a corporate social responsibility initiative.
