Category: Solid Waste Management
An efficient and well-coordinated solid waste management system is helping keep Rajapalayam clean, with several tonnes of waste being collected across the city every day.
More than 300 personnel employed by AVM, a private agency engaged in solid waste collection, work daily to ensure the timely collection and proper disposal of waste generated by households and commercial establishments.
The city adopts multiple modes of waste collection to ensure complete coverage. Battery-operated vehicles, light commercial vehicles, and pushcarts are deployed in different parts of the municipality for door-to-door waste collection.
In areas with narrow streets and lanes that are inaccessible to vehicles, sanitation workers walk from house to house to collect waste directly from residents. Their dedicated efforts play a crucial role in keeping Rajapalayam free from waste and maintaining public hygiene through proper waste disposal practices.
