Coimbatore: Piles of garden waste and tree branches trimmed are common sights in many cities stretching, because they are almost not cleaned by City Corporation regularly.
While most park waste found in luxury areas, tree waste found in other areas where branches are often cut off by electrical and residents’ workers and residents.
B Selvanayagi, a resident of Abdul Rahim Road on the race track, said the park waste was not cleaned once in 15 days in their area.
“We have taken problems with health officials several times, but it doesn’t work.” R Puni, a police officer in Ganapathy, said tree waste has become a sight in their area.
“Tree waste has stacked for more than a month now, inviting insects and poisonous snakes.
A few days ago, we saw snakes coming out of the stack.
We were afraid to let our children play outdoors.
Trash was only cleaned when we continued to improve the problem With officials.
“Residents say there must be a mechanism for cleaning the park and waste trees at least once a week.
Corporate officials, posted on the race track, said they were flooded with complaints about garden waste.
“We get a shredder machine, which is used to eliminate waste, only once or twice a month.
We cannot shift waste without tearing it into pieces.” When contacted, a health official said only one shredder machine was available for each zone.
“Ideally, there must be three shredder machines in each zone.
There is a proposal to increase the number of machines.
This problem can be handled, once we get a new machine.”
