New waste collection norms in JSR
Jamshedpur: The Tata Steel Utility and Infrastructure Services Ltd (TS UISL) has asked households within Tata Steel's command areas to discard wet and dry waste in separate bins before disposing of it. The company has informed its customers that cleaning workers visiting door-to-door to collect trash will not take unsegregated garbage. Additionally, sanitation workers will collect dry waste twice a week (Monday and Thursday), while wet garbage will be collected daily. The move, officials said, is aimed at increasing the efficiency of its newly commissioned waste processing plant in Kadma which became functional on June 5. "For the waste to be processed in higher volume, the facility has to run efficiently, and for that, segregation of the waste is necessary," said TS UISL spokesperson Rajesh Pandey. Over 60,000 households, which account for nearly 7 lakh population, generate 290 metric tonnes of municipal waste daily within TS UISL limits.
