Kathmandu. Kathmandu Metropolitan City has announced the schedule for the collection of biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste, which will come into effect from 1st July.
KMC issued a notification and fixed Sunday and Wednesday as the day for collection of perishable waste, while Monday and Friday for non-perishable waste. Citizens should facilitate waste management as prescribed. Kampa had issued a notice a month ago and informed the city dwellers about the classification of waste.
It is said that the repeated notices will be organized and brought to the vehicles carrying unclassified garbage and returned to their homes, and a fine of Rs 500 per person will be imposed. According to Sarita Rai, Head of the KMC Environment Department, it is easy to manage the waste separated in this way and the vehicles that collect the separated waste also come on different days, so the citizens should manage it accordingly.
KMC also said that if you ignore KMC’s request, you will be punished as an offense according to Section 51(tha) of the Natural Resources Protection Act, 2077 and Section 389th of the Garbage Management Act, 2068.
