Ullal City Municipality will on Friday launch a programme to distribute free green bins to about 20,000 houses for depositing wet waste, according to municipal Commissioner Rayappa. Each bin has a capacity to store 10 kg of wet waste. One such bin has cost the municipality ₹121, Mr. Rayappa told The Hindu. The aim is to discourage people from handing over wet waste to solid waste collectors of the municipality in plastic carry bags and thus, motivate them to strictly adhere to segregating waste at source, he said.
