Should We Pay For The Waste We Create?

The south corporation in Delhi has approved a proposal to impose waste generation charges from users for generating construction and demolition waste...

Any user generating more than 20 tons a day or 300 tons of waste per project in a month should pay for processing and disposing construction and demolition material, apart from extra amounts for its storage, collection and transportation. As it is, paying a little amount for a good cause won't cost much to big projects.

Urban India produces tons of solid waste which leads to pollution and is harmful to our health. Through taxes we can make the public conscious about the dangers waste causes to our environment. Revenue thus earned can be used for recycling.

Imposing charges on waste generation is a good step. When people have to shell out money, they will think twice before generating waste. Thus, wastage of food and other material will also reduce. People will begin to value the process of recycling things. Air pollution in metro cities like Delhi will reduce.

If people can pollute for free and then take it for granted then it is time people pay for polluting.

paying for the waste that we create is the best idea to reduce garbage dumping.When they will come to know that they have to pay for the waste then different ideas like-use of paper bags,less packaged food consumption (cause they are covered with plastic material)will strike their mind which will automatically changed the mentality and the scenario totally.So undoubtedly this is useful and essential for collecting needed money for the recycling of waste especially(plastic materials).

Yes, those who throw the garbage waste near at the house,at the side of the roads either in the play grounds have to pay for that what have they done.And by paying the number of throwing of garbage waste is reduced and also the pollution will be reduced.

Paying for the waste we create is an abstract but a good idea. This will make people think before letting a harmful waste into the environment. This will reduce the pollution and keep the surrounding clean.
