The Eloor municipality earned ₹7.7 lakh in March through collection and disposal of non-biodegradable waste.
The civic body achieved 100% target in the collection of user fee from waste generators by deploying members of the Haritha Karma Sena (HKS) in all wards. They are involved in collection of non-biodegradable waste from the doorstep.
Municipal chairman A.D. Sujil said the concerted efforts by HKS volunteers, officials, elected representatives, and the public had helped the civic body extend the coverage of doorstep collection of non-biodegradable waste. It helped in streamlining waste collection and disposal, he added.
