Bengaluru: Living in Bengaluru is going to be more expensive from April 1. Now the domestic waste collection and disposal charge is also going to be charged from April 1 on the earlier property tax bill. For the disposal of waste, user fees have been approved by the Government of Karnataka. The Bangalore Solid West Management Limited (BSWML) proposed this fee in November last year, which has been approved by the Urban Development Department headed by Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivkumar.
Who will pay the fees?
This fee includes the expenses of picking up garbage from people’s homes every day and then disposed of it. According to a Business Today report, according to the estimate of BSWML, this user fee will earn up to Rs 600 crore annually.
Based on the size of the property, there are six slabs of this fee structure. The 600 square feet building will have to pay Rs 10 every month, while 4,000 square feet or larger property will have to be paid up to Rs 400 every month. Suppose that a fee of Rs 150 for a month will be imposed on the three -storey building built on 30×40 square feet.
They will have to give more extra
In the same way, many big apartments or commercial buildings are such that a lot of garbage collected everyday is drawn. If they do not seek the help of any West Processing Agency, then in this case, 12 rupees will be taken per kg of garbage from them.
Government gave this clarification
Explain that people are already charged with a Solid Waste Management (SWM) as a part of the property tax. The amount raised from this is used for maintenance of public places. The government claims that new fees need to be imposed in Bengaluru to improve waste management. This is a perfect step to solve the growing problem of waste in the city.
