Waste generators, who are still relying on collection by the Greater Noida Authority, will now have to shell out more from next month. It will be applicable to all types of waste generators including residential societies and commercial units.
This is for the waste generators which have not set up waste disposal system.
The authority said that those waste generators who have not installed composting machines and are reliant on authority to collect their waste are liable to pay Rs 7,000 per trip to the authority.
