Sri Vijaya Puram, Jan 29: The Sri Vijaya Puram Municipal Council (SVPMC) has introduced user charges and strict penalties for the proper disposal of Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste in accordance with the Solid Waste (Handling and Management) Bye-Laws, 2017. Under the provision of the Bye-Laws, all C&D waste generators must store C&D waste separately and contact SVPMC’s Control Room No.: 03192-231179. SVPMC will ensure waste pickup within seven days of generation and transport it to a designated storage cum transfer center. To facilitate this, SVPMC has established C&D Waste Storage Units controlled by concerned Road works Junior Engineers at Anarkali (Ward Nos. 01-08), AIR Road (Ward Nos. 01-08). VIP Road (Ward Nos. 10-13), Dairy Farm (Ward Nos. 09, 14-16), and Dollygunj (Ward Nos. 17-24).
To streamline the process, SVPMC has set user charges at 2900 per cubic meter/ton for collection and transportation, while violators who fail to properly segregate and dispose of C&D waste wll face a penalty of 5000 per ton. Residents can request waste pickup via an online form (https:/forms.gle/hUKAPÍGVEsrfixCT8), SVPMC’s official website (https://pbmc.gov.in/), or by calling the SVPMC Control Room at 03192 231179. Upon receiving a request, the concerned Road Works Junior Engineer will arrange for collection, and payments will be facilitated through a PoS machine issued by the Revenue Officer, SVPMC.
To ensure compliance, SVPMC’s Sanitary Inspectors will monitor adherence to these regulations and impose spot fines for violations. If a waste generator fails to comply, SVPMC may issue a notice and require the clearance of waste at designated locations or payment for its removal. SVPMC urges all citizens to adhere to these guidelines and contribute to maintaining a cleaner and more sustainable Sri Vijaya Puram.
