The Hassan City Municipal Council has decided to introduce segregation of wet and dry waste at the collection point from June 5— the World Environment Day. CMC Commissioner Nagabhushan has appealed to the people to give the wet and dry waste separately to the garbage carrying vehicles.
The CMC has already distributed dustbins of two different colours meant for segregating the waste at home. “People should not dump plastic bags into the vehicles. They should keep the waste separately in two baskets and dump the same to the tipper when they come to their streets. Use of plastic bags is banned completely and those who violate the order will attract penalty,” he said in a circular issued here.
