Hyderabad: As per the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016, all the Bulk garbage Generators producing 50 KG of waste per day have to install composting machines on their premises to process the wet waste.
Accordingly, the GHMC will recognize all the organizations like Hotels, Restaurants, Function Halls, Kalyana Mandapams and Banquet Halls across the city, generating above 50 kg of waste per day, as commercial Bulk Garbage Generators (BGGs). In this context, the GHMC has sent several notices to all the Bulk Garbage generators to install on-site Compost machines on their premises and now as per the instructions of the Commissioner, the GHMC has set August 15 as dead line for all the BGGs to install them.
For the convenience and ready reference, GHMC has published a list of all the empanelled agencies which deal with sale of all kinds of compost machines, in the GHMC website (Under Announcements). The GHMC was providing adequate time till August 15 for all the BGGs to procure and install the compost machines. In case, any BGG fails to implement the same within specified period, the GHMC will enforce and may take action against them. As the GHMC was continuously striving to achieve better sanitation and solid waste management in the city, it is expected from all the BGGs to co-operate and undertake immediate required action in implementing the same.
