The Chandigarh Municipal Corporation (MC) plans to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with waste collectors serving commercial units to regularize and streamline waste management. The proposed MoU introduces regulations for these informal collectors, including limits on assigned units, biometric attendance, and collection of segregated waste. It also prohibits collectors from demanding money from establishments, with penalties for non-compliance. This initiative aims to formalize waste collection from shops, offices, and restaurants, which has largely been an informal system.
