QR code-enabled waste collection turns a flop show

Trichy | Saturday | 30th March, 2019

Summary:

Though more than 170 mini load vans are engaged in waste collection, the sanitary officials are yet to take note of the residents’ disappointment with the waste collection . Trichy: Hardly four months have passed since the Quick Response code-enabled waste collection practice was implemented here, but the model has persistently failed to ensure routine waste collection from residents at their doorstep. Accordingly, a supervisor visiting the houses to collect waste in vehicles will scan the unique code given for recording the individual coverage by every waste collection vehicle. The system was thus intended to make non-cooperative residents fall in line and ensure maximum coverage by waste collection vehicles. Additional vehicles have been launched for door-to-door waste collection and the irregularities will be resolved,” an official with Trichy corporation added..
