To make waste management in the city effective, every household and business entity in Siddharthanagar has been required to classify waste.
For the long-term management of waste, Siddharthanagar Municipality has decided to collect only classified and separated waste. The classification of waste has become mandatory after the implementation of the rule that unclassified waste must be managed by the concerned households and entities.
The rule that everyone must classify waste has been implemented in the Siddharthanagar Municipality area from Chaitra 17, said Janak Thapa, Chief Administrative Officer of Siddharthanagar Municipality.
‘This rule has been implemented as a long-term solution to the problem of waste management in the city,’ said Thapa. ‘The municipality will not collect waste that has not been classified and separated since Chaitra 18. Such waste should be managed by the respective households and waste generating bodies.'
Thapa said that those who do not manage waste and throw it indiscriminately on roadsides and public places will be fined starting from Rs 5,000 depending on the nature.
The municipality has urged the municipal tractors to separate biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste and collect it.
Due to ineffective waste management in Siddharthanagar, which is the gateway to Lumbini, the city is becoming ugly and smelly. Residents and passengers are suffering from waste thrown indiscriminately on the city's main square and roadsides. The municipality has stated that more than 25 tons of waste is generated in Siddharthanagar daily and 125 people have to be deployed daily.
The problem of waste management in the city has become serious after the controversial cancellation of the waste processing center that was to be built eight years ago at a cost of Rs 330 million by the Asian Development Bank to manage waste in the Siddharthanagar area in the long term.
Chief Administrative Officer Thapa said that the problem of waste management in Siddharthanagar will be solved after the implementation of this rule and the monitoring and fine process will be strictly implemented to implement the implemented rule.
