Gurgaon: “Please give wet and dry waste separately.
MCG has commanded us to just take separate waste,” Ashish (the name changed on request), a garbage collector, asked residents of sector 14.
“But I don’t know what wet garbage is.
Can you help me understand? “The Resident answered.
Don’t have an answer to it, Ashish takes waste and mixed leaves.
In the nearest house, other collectors take mixed waste without objections.
When a resident shows that the corporation of the city of Gurugram (MCG) has ordered the suspension of unthinkable waste collection, he shrugged and said he had not been told about it.
A similar scene was played throughout the city on Thursday when day 1 of the Ambitious MCG plan to collect only separate garbage from the houses was damaged by confusion between the population and waste collectors.
Contrary to the direction of MCG, many collectors receive mixed waste from residential areas such as sectors 14, 15, 17, 56 and 23a, among others.
“It’s a big joke.
In my sector, even 10% of people give separate waste.” Said Bhawani Shankar Tripathy, President Sector 23a Rwa.
While the previous MCG said they would not punish people who failed to provide separate waste on the first day but would record their names, no records were maintained in most areas.
“I deliberately gave mixed waste on Thursday just to see what happened.
I expect collectors to objects, or record my name or remove me a warning, but nothing happened.
On the contrary, I have to tell him about the New Order,” said Ajay Kumar , a citizen sector 15.
On several sites, waste collectors look trying to produce awareness by playing a new message about new orders.
.
However, in many locations, it is a business as usual.
Vendors to whom are the management of ecogreen holders have conducted outsourcing collection saying they have trained their staff about the separation of waste and told the occupants about it.
“Violating from an established system is not easy.
We regularly receive feedback and train our staff.
We have asked them to be a little softer at first but continue to remind people that the collection of mixed waste will be immediately suspended immediately,” said Pankaj Vendors for ward 6.
However, call it “forced training” without a campaign to produce awareness among occupants for effective implementation.
Even the collection center specifically appointed to only dry waste that was seen receiving mixed waste from the vendor on Thursday.
For example, the center adjacent to cremation in Atul Kataria Chowk has been designated as a dry waste center, and vendors carrying mixed waste must be played or punished.
All that was ignored on Thursday.
“I have brought mixed waste.
I don’t know that we have to bring only dried waste,” Deepak said, a collector.
Ecogreen officials said it would take several weeks to streamline.
“These steps need time.
We are conducting regular training sessions and meetings to ensure we are successful.
The gap that might be seen in the first few days will be overcome,” said a senior official.
MCG also claims that it will take around a week to change inhabitants.
“The Thursday response was encouraging.
In some places, the residents were proactive in handing separately waste.
In areas where we witnessed some doubts, ecogreen, vendors and our staff was carrying out an initiative consciousness of the door to the door.
In the coming days, the collection mechanism Waste will be simplified, “said a senior MCG official.
