The demand of reintroduction of garbage bins has resurfaced in the city even as garbage keeps accumulating by the roadsides and at street corners, Until 2017 and 2018, the residents used to relegate the domestic waste including vegetable waste and food leftovers in the garbage bins placed by the Tiruchi Corporation at various locations. The daily waste generated in the commercial establishments, restaurants, hotels and marriage halls was also dumped in the garbage bins. There were about 1,172 garbage bins in the city. The trucks operated by the Corporation would visit the designated places every morning and evening to move the garbage to the Ariyamangalam dump yard. When the City Corporation rolled out the initiative of door-to-door collection of waste, there was a considerable impact. Subsequently, the civic body started testing the method of removing garbage bins in the city, with the announcement that the residents and commercial establishments should hand over the waste only to the sanitary workers. It also introduced a spot-fine system to those violating the rules.More Related News
