Background: Lack of public health workers
always hampers the work of Solid waste Management. But, the salaries and perks
in the recent past has been increased to unaffordable level of Urban Local
Bodies. In the above circumstances, it is inevitable to engage the private
participation to decrease the burden of the ULBs.
Initiatives :
1.The participation of tribals in the
suryapet was very less and same time yerukala community required rehabilitation
from the pig rearing. I have taken the approval of the the then special officer
M.C.lal During 2010 for engaging their services in dry waste collection. The
total dry waste collected has to be retained by them and same has to be sold in
the market.Municipality had paid honorarium to them.They woked for about 2
years during my tenure in suryapet. They collected the dry waste during the
nights efficiently. Subsequently, they classified the waste in to different
components within dry waste.The staff also cooperated well with the community
people. This initiative of rehabilitation was appreciated by the then Collector
nalgonda sri.N.Mukhteswar Rao.
2.In khammam, the usercharges were for
different establishments were approved by the then special officer, Khammam
Municipal Corporation and District Collector sri.Siddhartha Jain. This has
become a big task to municipal Corporation and 3 or 4 people have to be engaged
for collection. A meeting with the commercial area people was taken and
informed to engage a tractor on their.In khammam town, there was a tradition to
collect the hotel waste engaging their own vehicle. Similarly, vehicle for
other commercial establishments were also engaged. The workers were also belongs
to the commercial establishments. This has decreased the burden of the
collection of waste in commercial areas and collection of user charges engaging
the staff, where staff was shortage.
3.Chicken Waste use to be a menace to the
effective solid waste management. Municipal Commissioner ,Khammam sri.B .
Srinivas has initiated a meeting with the chicken shop owners to avoid thowing
of the chicken waste unauthorisedly. They have agreed for it.already one person
was collecting chicken waste to feed the fishes they are rearing. This method
of collection was strengthened.This has averted the illegal dumping of chicken
waste.
4.The tender coconuts ware the main source
of mosquitoes breeding. The mosquitoes borne diseases were more prevalent in
the khammam. Unless the tender coconuts were properly collected and disposed
off, the problem remains. This was sorted with the help of the then district
collector Sri.Srinivasa srinaresh.He sanctioned a tender coconuts crushing
machine. A meeting was convened with all coconut sellers and to handover the
coconuts to process plants at designated places. They engaged their own tractor
and collected tender coconuts.This has largely averted the garbage problem and
mosquitoes menace.It is also one of the reasons for the mosquitoes control.
