It is common for residents to blame authorities for the garbage problem. But this time, they are themselves to be blamed as some residents in HAL 3rd Stage are seen throwing garbage everywhere after collection time.
BBMP has provided for some private garbage collectors who collect garbage from a particular place at a particular time. Garbage collectors in HAL 3rd stage Thippasandra come around 11 in the morning daily and collect garbage dumped in allotted places. But even after they collect waste, the area is seen littered with garbage packets.
On a complaint by Rise III (Residents Initiative for Safe Environment), Cityplus went on a survey and was surprised to see that that even after the allotted time, people come and throw garbage on the road showing disregard for the whole garbage collection system.
“Residents need to understand their responsibility towards society and cleanliness,” said Jaya Kukreja, a resident.
There is a fixed place for dumping garbage in every area and collectors come on time and collect garbage from each house. But in 6th Cross 4th Main HAL 3rd stage, residents from different crosses or mains come to the neighbourhood and throw garbage in front of homes or sometimes on the main road. No one bothered to walk till the garbage dumping place and throw garbage there.
Piled-up garbage is enough to spoil residents’ morning coffee. Even after trying hard to keep the locality clean, residents are not co-operating.
“A woman from some other cross will daily come and throw her garbage in front of our home. Even after repeated warnings, she continued with her daily dumping. Can’t she walk little further and dump it in designated place,” asked Jaya.
