Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation has approved new charges for kitchen and general waste disposal at private event halls and party plots across the city. Following a meeting by the Solid Waste Management Committee, a fee ranging from Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 5,000, depending on the venue size, will be implemented.
The decision seeks to improve waste disposal from social events, such as weddings and religious gatherings, which often generate large amounts of waste. Venue managers will be required to dispose of waste via AMC vehicles or designated recyclers. This initiative aims to eliminate the open dumping that frequently occurs around event locations.
