After getting regular complaints of horticulture waste being dumped near parks and along the roadsides, the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram has decided to hire more vehicles, especially tractor-trailers for collection and transportation of horticulture waste to organic fertiliser manufacturing units.

Manoj Kumar, Executive Engineer, Municipal Corporation of Gurugram,

said, “We have 18 tractor-trailers to collect and transport horticulture waste at present. After receiving suggestions from the residents’ welfare associations, we have prepared a plan to hire at least 12 more trailers.” He added that the corporation would also hire adequate workforce.

The Executive Engineer stated that tractor-trailers would be hired for all four zones of the corporation. In every zone, seven to eight tractor-trailers would be used for collecting horticulture waste. Four labourers would be deployed per vehicle.

The tendering process had been initiated for collecting horticulture waste from Officers’ Colony 1, 2, 3 and 4, Civil Lines and Ward-6 in Zone-2, said Manoj, adding that the installation of GPS devices had been made mandatory on all these vehicles. The MC would sign a contract for hiring tractor-trailers and labourers for six months.
