Two Societies Turn Their Waste Into Manure, Get BMC Reward

Two housing societies in South Mumbai have become the first winners of BMC’s incentive for processing their own waste. The civic body will give the two societies at Malabar Hill a tax rebate when they file their next property tax bill, and its officials will monitor their progress on a regular basis.
