“Dry and wet waste should be collected separately and dry waste will be collected once in a week,” he said.

Health standing committee Chairperson Kavith Sanil said that the collected dry and wet waste should be given to the vehicles accordingly. In case the waste is not separated then the vehicle staff will not collect the waste.

“Wet waste will be collected every day and people should separate wet waste like vegetables, fruits, meat, fish, banana leaves and others things from the dry waste. Dry waste such as plastic, paper, glass, rubber coconut waste and other things will be collected once in a week,” she added.

Further she requested the people to utilise this facility provided by the MCC effectively for the successful management of the waste.
