MCC may go all out for strict enforcement of plastic ban

Two-day Solid Waste Management expo-2021 discusses issue

Even as Mysuru City Corporation is vying for a top ‘Swachh’ rank for Mysuru this year, urging the citizens to give their feedback with the Swachh Survekshan-2021 ending on March 31, it organised a workshop here on Tuesday which debated sustainable solutions for solid waste management. At a time when Mysuru is facing the challenge of handling rise in collection of solid wastes with the city expanding at a rapid pace, the MCC is seriously looking at ending the plastic menace with plans of strict enforcement of plastic ban from April 5. Plastic waste contributes a sizeable portion of waste collected daily here. If the ban was effectively enforced, the quantum of plastic waste would get reduced, the MCC officials believe.
