Failing miserably in containing the haphazard accumulation of garbage at random locations, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) is now experimenting with wheelbarrows and tricycles for collection of swept garbage from across the city.
In separate tenders, the civic body has invited bids for empanelment of agencies for supply and delivery of wheelbarrows and tricycles for transportation of municipal solid waste, for a period of one year.
The stated objective is to provide better sanitation standards to the citizens, by eliminating the garbage vulnerable points (GVPs). The wheelbarrows and tricycles will be provided to all the sanitation worker groups, to store the swept garbage daily, instead of dumping it at GVPs, the tender document said.
