Sort out waste or we won't collect it: Noida

"Under the scheme, land for composting units will be provided by the authority, but the cost of setting up and operating them must be borne by the participants. Any establishment, be it a hotel, restaurant, hospital, RWA, AOA, etc, that generates more than 100 kgs of waste per day falls under the BWG category and is obligated to set up an on-site composting unit," he said.
Under the Solid Waste Management (SWM) Rules, 2016, bulk generators are required to treat their wet waste on-site. During the workshop, instructions were given on how to segregate waste into different categories like wet waste, dry waste, hazardous waste, medical waste, etc.
According to estimates, Noida generates nearly 800 tons of solid waste per day, out of which nearly 30% originates from BWG premises.

Pilgrims troubled as Bhadrachalam chokes on garbage amid sanitation staff protest over reduced salary
KHAMMAM: Due to poor sanitation, the temple town of Bhadrachalam has been in a state of disarray for the past two months. Sources said the outsourcing staff have not been discharging their duties because of reduced salaries. The unhygienic conditions are troubling pilgrims visiting from across the country. Locals have also criticised the government's inaction. Garbage has piled up across the town, including near the temple. Of the 285 sanitation and drainage workers, nearly 140 have stopped reporting to duty. Most of the absentees are from the drainage and road-cleaning sections. Officials said only seven out of 90 drainage workers are currently on duty. Earlier, the gram panchayat paid each worker Rs 12,000 per month. This was reduced to Rs 9,500 recently. 'We can't run our families on such low pay,' said worker K Ramana, adding that daily-wage labourers earn up to Rs 15,000 a month. 'Despite working 8 to 12 hours a day, we are paid just Rs 9,500,' he lamented. Local resident B Shanker Reddy said the mosquito menace has worsened, causing illness, especially among children and the elderly. Another resident, B Ramana Reddy, said the issue must be resolved urgently as Bhadrachalam is a temple town. Devotees have also raised complaints about the foul smell and garbage heaps. Gram Panchayat executive officer Ch Srinivas said the issue has been taken up with the government and that they are managing sanitation with the available staff.
