MUMBAI: Come October 2, the BMC will stop lifting garbage from housing complexes and commercial establishments whose area is above 20,000 square metres, sources in the civic body said. The BMC wants these entities to make arrangements to dispose of their waste at their level itself.The move could affect complexes housing a few swanky highrise buildings in the city as well as the suburbs.The BMC would soon send notices to all such entities to ensure their waste is disposed. “In fact we would also be informing these societies that they could come forward and request their respective ward in helping them in finding ways to dispose of the waste as well,” said a civic official. Besides, officials of all the 24 wards have also be directed to come up with a plan on what can be done to dispose of garbage at their own level instead of it landing at the overfull dumping grounds in Mumbai.The BMC has been facing a lot of flak for not being able to tackle the waste generated in the city. Every day, Mumbai generates 9,500 tonnes of garbage, which is sent to the three dumping grounds in Mulund, Deonar and Kanjurmarg.Meanwhile the BMC also plans to deploy clean-up marshals outside municipal markets to ensure vendors dispose of their garbage in the waste bin only.
