Noida may start collecting waste at homes from September

Noida | Friday | 13th July, 2018

Summary:

While only one bid was received for the management of the C&D waste, only two firms showed interest in the door-to-door collection of waste. And if all goes all, the door-to-door garbage collection will start from September.Though the Authority had opened the e-tenders for all the three types of work in June, there were few bidders for the projects. Three NGOs submitted bids for awareness creation about Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016. “As this kind of waste cannot be disposed of fully, the agency can either create by-products of the waste or sell it off to cement companies which can reuse the same,” an official said.Moreover, the Authority also wants to hire an agency which can start mechanised sweeping on Noida roads. NOIDA: After getting a tepid response last month, the Noida Authority has again kick-started the process of hiring agencies for door-to-door collection of garbage from different sectors and management of construction and demolition (C&D) waste in the city.The e-tenders for appointing two agencies as well as an NGO to help create awareness about waste segregation in residential areas of Noida will be opened by this month-end and the entire process is likely to be completed by August, officials said on Thursday..
