Notably, LMC charges a nominal amount from each household as user charges for door-to-door garbage collection by Ecogreen, every month. It was being reported that the garbage collectors and helpers used to collect this fee but did not submit it at the civic body's office. To tackle this issue and add transparency to the system, LMC has decided to send uniformed officials to collect this charge now.

The civic body will issue special identity cards to the officials who will be responsible for this garbage collection fee in the city. According to the Municipal Commissioner of Lucknow, Ajay Kumar Dwivedi, for any queries or complaints, people can log on to the official website of LMC.

ALL LMC vehicles to be equipped with VTMS now

Apart from this, the LMC is also taking various measures to improve the level of cleanliness and waste management in the city. To ensure garbage gets picked up from every house, a Vehicle Tracking Management System will be installed in the garbage collection vehicles.

While this system has already been installed in a few vehicles, the municipal body will now equip every vehicle with the same system. In an attempt to curb the misuse of these vehicles, the Municipal Commissioner has directed officials to install VTMS in each LMC vehicle.
