Our association manager in the apartments have explained to the garbage collectors that residents are using biodegradable disposable bags for wet waste and kitchen waste. But even after this, the corporation refuses to remove the black bags from homes and apartments, as they misunderstand that black bag means plastic bag. We residents are paying to buy these bags, but forced to remove such wet garbage by hand ( most unhygenic esp in corona times) and dispose these bags separately into the non recyclable bin in Coimbatore. Other big cities like Bangalore, Mumbai have greater awareness about biodegradable bags that automatically disintegrate with earth, ( and do not require residents to contaminate their hands, like in our city)
If corporation wishes they can make available such biodegradable bags in each apartment for the convenience of both residents and collectors. Residents will purchase same rather than from the common market as being done currently, but still serving no purpose . Was this information helpful? |
