Now the GHMC has started removing all the garbage bins in the colonies so that the people will give the garbage to the vehicles that come to their houses on regular basis. Wet and Dry garbage is separated collected and sent to the plant which recycles and converts into power.
As part of the Swachh City initiative, the civic body will be providing these 650 SATs to all the 30 circles in addition to the existing 2,500 vehicles.
According to the GHMC, the allotment of autos is purely based on the number of uncovered areas in each circle and is transparent. The procurement of vehicles is under driver-cum-owner scheme in which 10 per cent of the cost of the vehicle is borne by the beneficiary.
The remaining cost is borne by GHMC by taking finance from Canara Bank at the rate of 8 per cent per annum for 72 months. Hyderabad has already received awards for clean and green several times.
