Integrated solid waste management services.
Waste management in urban areas is a real challenge. Many individual families, housing societies, and commercial establishments require professional solid waste management services. The latest SWM rules of 2016 have legally made it mandatory for all those generating garbage to dispose of their garbage following these rules. Keeping this in mind, we offer our clients integrated professional services. Bulk generators of garbage have been held accountable for solid waste management therefore, individual flat owners, residential, and commercial complexes must comply with and follow all the rules and regulations prescribed by the local authorities.
