Residents claims builders responsible for lack of waste units
After Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) issued notices to housing societies in its limits over failing to treat garbage at source, several residents from these residential complexes are now holding the builders responsible for not providing the facility in the first place. Hundreds of housing societies in the twin towns have been left in a mess after PCMC workers stopped collecting wet waste and initiated action against complexes without garbage composing units. Residents claim that instead of taking action against the builders who have allegedly failed to provide garbage treatment plants in societies as promised in the plan, authorities are harassing them. The local civic body, on its part, has started taking action against housing societies flouting the norms of the Solid Waste Management Rule 2016, which makes it a legal obligation to segregate wet and dry waste. As per the new mandate, PCMC workers only collect segregated dry waste from societies that generate more than 100 kg of wet waste per day. It has been made mandatory to install waste composting units in such residential societies, discontinuing waste collection from April 2019.
