RK Mishra, Additional CEO of the Noida Authority said, “The Authority has launched the segregated door-to-door waste collection project following the solid waste management rule of 2016.

According to the NGT order of October 2017 and solid waste management rule of 2016, Noida authority and all residential societies of the city will have to ensure that municipal solid waste is segregated and collected from the house.
Amit Gupta, a resident of Prateek Wisteria, a residential Society in Sector-77, told City Spidey, “It is good that Noida Authority is starting the door to door collection of garbage. But, the Authority should also make people aware about their move that they will only collect segregated waste from July 1.”
“People in high rises easily segregate the waste. Some other societies have also started it. But, independent houses should also be doing the same. Noida Authority should do some awareness campaign to help people do the segregation of waste in the kitchen,” added Gupta.
