MUMBAI: To eliminate the stink from garbage heaps mendacity within the open, the BMC has determined to install underground bins at 4 locations in south Mumbai by means of December.
In its funds offered in February, the BMC had introduced that the town would get ‘good bins’ that would be underground and feature built in sensors. Its solid waste department has now invited tenders to install the underground bins in two wards—A ward, which covers parts of Churchgate and Colaba; and D ward, which incorporates parts of Malabar Hill, Chowpatty and Walkeshwar—on a pilot basis.
“The two wards had been decided on for the pilot challenge as they see a large number of vacationers. They could also be placed at the Gateway of India and Marine Drive,” stated a civic authentic. “If a success, the challenge can be replicated around the city.” Each underground bin will cling up to 500kg of waste.
Civic officers stated the garbage can be stored in underground closed packing containers to keep watch over the spread of bacteria and odour.
Explaining the challenge, a civic authentic stated, “Pits can be dug up to place the garbage collection packing containers. Above the pit can be a raised platform with a post-box-like bin with compartments for dry and rainy waste. Citizens can trash their waste within the ‘postbox’ bin and it is going to get collected within the underground container,” stated a civic authentic.
“The surrounding area can be beautified in order that even supposing the bin is complete, there can be no stink.”
“When the collection packing containers are complete, the sensors would alert the BMC keep watch over room,” stated the authentic. “A hydraulic lift will probably be used to raise the garbage container and empty the contents into a compactor.” This can even lend a hand cut back labourers’ touch with garbage.
While tenders had been invited for the challenge, a pre-bid meeting is scheduled this week. Civic officers stated the demanding situations they face in installing underground bins are the numerous utilities that run beneath the town. “Before selecting a spot, we will have to check if there any utilities operating underground,” stated an authentic, adding they plan to launch the pilot challenge by means of the year-end.
