Restore built–in garbage facility
Occupants of flats, in the past, were able to dispose of their household garbage in the built –in unit of the flat meant for the disposal of garbage. Garbage is thrown out of upper floors for municipal workers to collect it. As residents, in the recent past, did not comply with the request to segregate garbage, bio-degradable and non-biodegradable, this facility was discontinued.
Now that the segregation of the garbage has been done away with, the occupants should be given the option previously enjoyed by them to dispose of garbage.
The condominium management authorities should restore this facility which will make life convenient to the flat–dwellers instead of coming on to the roads to personally hand-over the household refuse to the garbage collectors coming in their vehicles.
