Plastic waste collection in various local bodies in Kollam district will be made more efficient with the introduction of the Harithamithram smart garbage monitoring system.
In a bid to monitor field activities by the Haritha Karma Sena members and redress grievances, 32 local bodies in the district will implement the system. Mobile phones required for monitoring field-level operations and laptops for monitoring centres will be made available as part of the project. While the Haritha Karma Sena members visit households, information, including the amount of plastic waste collected and user key, will be instantly communicated to the monitoring centre through an app.
Families who hand over plastic waste to the Haritha Karma Sena members can install the app to access all related information. The app has a provision to report complaints and the objective is to enable immediate redressal measures.
