KMC starts garbage collection

The metropolitan city resumed garbage disposal on Tuesday after the landslides were cleared.



A garbage carrying vehicle of KMC on July 25 got trapped in the landslide and overturned.



Garbage accumulated on the streets after the incident as KMC couldn’t lift garbage. As a result, major places were full of foul smell.



Rabinmaan Shrestha of Environment Department of KMC said, "Nearly 400 metric tonne garbage is generated in the Capital daily and it takes two weeks to properly manage garbage.”
