The BMC is planning to reduce the rates for its ‘debris on call service by 50%. It is also exploring a mandatory integration in the AutoDCR portal that will require builders to directly deliver their debris to BMCs plants.
The city generates 7,000 to 8,000 metric tonnes debris every day. Due to the market rates for debris disposal being lower than the BMC’s fees, compliance from builders has been low. The price cut aims to tackle the problem.
