Jaipur: <\/strong>The ambitious door-to-door garbage collection project of Jaipur Municipal Corporation (JMC) has finally taken off. The company tasked with the project started collecting garbage from households in the city\u2019s 8 wards.<\/p>\n

Fearing a law and order situation, sanitation workers who are collecting waste are being provided police security.<\/p>\n

There is resentment among JMC\u2019s regular sanitation workers who are opposed to the project as it will take away jobs.<\/p>\n

The company has started collecting garbage from Ward no. 40, 41, 42, 43, 20, 21, 30 and 59 in the city\u2019s Mansarovar and Civil Lines areas.<\/p>\n

Waste will be collected from households from 7am to 12am and from commercial shops from 12pm to 5pm daily.<\/p>\n

The company collected nearly 3.5 metric ton waste which was sent to Sewapura landfill.<\/p>\n

The company haven\u2019t arranged for adequate number of vehicles to be used in transportation of garbage collected from households. JMC has roped in its own vehicles.<\/p>\n

JMC opened the financial bids of Mumbai-based Global Waste Management and BVG India, Pune, the participating firms in November, 2016, and awarded the contract to the latter which had the lowest quote.<\/p>\n

It took JMC nearly 18 months to complete the tender process. JMC had invited tenders for the door-to-door garbage collection after dividing the city into three divisions. In the first division, the agency has included Hawa Mahal (West), Amer and Vidhyadhar Nagar areas; in the second comes Hawa Mahal (East), Moti Doongri and Sanganer areas. Similarly, the third division covers Civil Lines and Mansarovar areas.<\/p>\n

After waste collected from households is transported to landfills, another company, JITF Urban Infrastructure Ltd of Jindal group will process it. The agency is planning to generate nearly 7MW a day from processing 650 tonnes of waste.<\/p>\n

JMC had decided recently that it will not impose any charges for first three months.<\/p>\n

Following will be the charges after the initial three months:<\/p>\n
