After its earlier model to collect biodegradable waste from commercial establishments in the city was found ineffective, the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation is planning to make a fresh attempt with more scrutiny of the agencies collecting waste, including approval from the Pollution Control Board (PCB) and clearance of the panchayat where the facility is located.
The civic body has now issued an Expression of Interest, calling for agencies interested in collecting biodegradable waste from commercial establishments in all the wards. The Corporation had four years ago made arrangements with 19 agencies to collect biodegradable waste. However, only 14 of them are currently involved in the process.
