MCD goes underground to hide city filth
New Delhi: Municipal Corporation of Delhi on Monday announced that special underground dustbins will be installed in the city to do away with dhalaos before Commonwealth Games 2010. MCD plans to install 67 such dustbins in phase-I. The civic body will spend Rs 3.25 crore on each dustbin and the task of installing them has been given to a company from Finland. The agency said the underground dustbins will ensure hygienic garbage collection.
Earlier MCD planned for flower pots-cum-dustbins and bomb-proof dustbins for the city before Games. However, these proposals have not move beyond the planning stages.
The opening of underground bins will have lids similar to a letter box. Said an MCD official: ‘‘ Each of these bins will be nine feet deep. While three feet of the bin will be above the ground level to enable dumping of garbage, the rest will be underground. Each of these bins will have a capacity of two to three tonnes. A crane will collect the huge disposal bags within the bins. The total cost of installing these bins in phase-I will be Rs 2.17 crore.’’
MCD has to give approval to a company from Finland to begin work. Added the official: ‘‘Bids for the deep waste collection system were closed in September this year and a Finnish firm has been short-listed for the project.’’
To begin with, MCD has identified 28 locations in City zone and Sadar Paharganj zone — considering their proximity to Games venues — where the bins will be installed. Phase-I of the project will be completed by March next year.
Said an official: ‘‘It is possible that getting the project approved by the Standing Committee takes time. So, we will get an anticipatory approval from the mayor and begin work. Initially, we will install these underground bins around Games sites, hotels and guesthouses.’’
MCD also has plans to package garbage in recyclable material and compress it for disposal at a plant in Jaipur in the future. Delhi currently generates 6,000 tonnes solid waste each day. MCD has a door-to-door collection system in place at Civil Lines and Rohini zones under which separate auto-tippers of the corporation collect bio-degradable and non-bio degradable waste from colonies.
