PMC Pune efforts to decentralise garbage processing has hit a road block

Tuesday, June 26th, 2012

Pune municipal corporation (PMC) waste management system spirals out of control and the efforts to decentralize garbage processing has hit a road block because of opposition from locals.The state government has told the Pune municipal corporation (PMC) to handle the garbage on its own, since no village in Pune district was ready to give land for setting up processing units.

The city’s garbage management is also falling apart. In many areas, garbage is not lifted for days together. In other areas, it is being burnt in outright violation of environmental norms.

PCMC to review garbage collection work

Thursday, April 14th, 2011

The health department of Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) will review garbage collection work in the Pradhikaran area, following complaints of garbage piles at the roadsides. Although the civic workers sweep the roads, the garbage piles up along the roadsides, creating problems for citizens, corporators have charged.

Akurdi-Nigdi zone president Raju Misal on Monday said that the number of trucks lifting garbage from the 10 wards in the Pradhikaran area need to be increased. The civic administration has agreed to provide two trucks, he added. At present, only one truck is being used for garbage collection.
