Awareness programmes like street plays and rallies have been organised in the ward to get more public participation
The BMC has resurrected its solid waste segregation campaign, with a South Mumbai ward last week initiating a pilot project at three locations involving over 200 societies. Back in 2017, after much discussion and deliberation, the BMC had made waste segregation compulsory for large societies (with more than 20,000 sq feet of area), bulk generators (more than 100 kg of waste per day) and new buildings built after 2007.
Following awareness campaigns, many complexes had even started waste segregation and built composting units on their premises. In order to give a boost to the campaign, the BMC had even declared a tax rebate for these societies in 2019. But after the lockdown, almost every society stopped segregating waste.
