The corporation release said the city has seen a steady rise in population and waste generation, necessitating a better operational capacity. As part of the Micro Implementation and Operation Plant (MIOP) plan, the Corporation has procured 82 battery-operated vehicles, three compactors, five hook loaders, six two-tonne tippers, one beach-cleaning tractor, and two water tankers with 12KL and 9KL capacities. The project cost is Rs 13.18 crore.
The bins and vehicles will enhance collection and transport of garbage in high-density areas. Around 145 drivers and assistants have been deployed to operate the fleet.
The special bins will be placed along busy roads to facilitate regular garbage collection and improve hygiene and aesthetics across the southern parts of the city, officials added.
