“The registration process can be completed through the MCD 311 app, available on Android and iOS platforms. BWGs are responsible for segregating waste at the source, processing wet waste in situ, and handing over dry waste and residual waste to authorised MCD waste collection agencies. The MCD has constituted a dedicated team of officers to oversee the registration process, monitor BWG operations, and conduct regular inspections to ensure compliance with SWM Rules 2016,” the MCD said.
