BBMP

In Dec.2015, BBMP did not pick up our garbage (Shalimar Apts with 42 apts.) for 12 days. We contained it in segregated separate drums with not a pin being discarded outside. It was a challenge. On prompting of a BBMP Health staff we hired the services of a BBMP approved contractor w.e.f. Jan.1,2016. he has been giving good service. Earlier this year he had to change the name of his Company to that of BBMP due to some adjustments between him and BBMP. The crew employed are mostly from North East. They are below 21 years and carry no ID or address proof, with no safety gear provided.
We have been able to make 99% segregation within our premises, with three drums each (150L each with lids and wheels) for wet and dry waste and one for medical waste.
We use bio-degradable bags. A lot of dry waste is being handed over to waste pickers who are able to earn a small sum by selling it in the market.

The award of contracts are given only to small time contractors & not the reliable good ones. The contractors seem to be relatives of the politician of the area. Nether the quality is assured nor the time for execution. A 6 month project may go over even to 3 or 4 years without any penalty being laid on the contractor. several extensions will be given with escalation to the cost of construction also. In the bargain, not only the public are looted of their money, they are made to suffer, unable to use the road where the construction drags on & on & on...

Very poor
