Why it matters:
- Plastic waste is a major source of the pollution in the city. This initiative if properly implemented can aid in reducing the waste level of the city.
- According to KMC private-public partnership unit chief Mahesh Kafle, the vending machines will be put in the fixed location of major areas.
- In order to put waste inside the machine, users will have to enter personal details including their mobile phone number into the system of the machine.
- After disposing of the waste, the users will get an extra balance on his/her mobile phone.
What to expect next:
In the first phase, the KMC plans to set such vending machines at places like Tribhuvan International Airport, New Road, and Durbar Marg areas.
