SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

       The performance of a Corporation will be best judged by its conservancy services to the public. The effective, early and unobtrusive clearance of all the refuse and garbage that are generated every day in houses, lanes, streets, markets and public places is the measure of excellence of the Corporation service. The conservancy includes collection, transport and disposal of garbage in all forms and solid wastes.
