According to GMC sources, compactors are powered by hydraulics and can dispose of a larger volume of garbage. The MSW are now being collected from the household in the morning, stored in bins and subsequently put into compactors.
The GMC purchased compactors after massive public outcry over the city’s poor waste management and overflowing of garbage in urban areas.
