Mumbai: BMC Collects and Processes Sanitary Waste in May
Mumbai's city government, the BMC, is helping to safely get rid of used sanitary items like pads and diapers.
In May, they picked up about 7 tonnes of this kind of waste from places like homes and schools that signed up for the service.
The waste is taken to special plants that burn it safely.
People can sign up using a QR code.
This is to make sure that this waste doesn't cause health problems or hurt the environment, and it will be mandatory soon.
BMC collected 7 tonnes of sanitary and special care waste in May.
Waste was collected from registered establishments, including housing societies and educational institutions.
Collected waste is processed in six plasma incineration plants.
A QR code-based registration system has been launched.
Collection is done daily or every few days based on establishment needs.
