BSWMLs Dclutter app to raise complaints on waste dumping awaits launch date
BENGALURU: The much-anticipated app, which allows people to raise complaints related to bad footpaths, roads and dumping of waste and get it cleared by Bengaluru Solid Waste Management Limited (BSWML), is awaiting a launch date. The app has been named as Dclutter. With the image of Bengaluru taking a beating due to poor garbage management and increasing number of black spots, BSWML has come up with a slew of measures. In October, BSWMLCEO Karee Gowda invited solid waste management experts, activists, bulk waste recyclers and other stakeholders to a meeting, where they discussed measures to be taken to keep the city clean. One of the major complaints during the meeting was the increasing number of black spots in the city, where not onlygarbage, but alsobroken cots, sofas, mattresses and otherwaste are dumped. Pourakarmikas, meanwhile, clear only garbage and leave the broken furniture there. Realising this, BSWML decided to come up with an app, allowing people to raise complaints by posting pictures and locations of black spots. As broken cots and furniture cant be transported by regular garbage-lifting vehicles, trucks will be used to clear them. People can also use the app to book BSWMLs service to dispose of their broken or unused furniture or bulk waste. BSWML sources told TNIE that the app is ready for launch. But BSWML is yet to get an appointment from Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar to launch the app. It was supposed to be launched this month. We hope to launch it next month, the sources said.
