CMC to launch bulky household and temple waste collection drives in Cyberabad

The Cyberabad Municipal Corporation (CMC) announced the launch of two civic waste management initiatives, the 'Bulky Household Waste Collection Drive' and the 'Divine Waste Collection Drive', to improve disposal practices across the Cyberabad jurisdiction. According to the announcement on July 7, 2026, the municipal corporation will release registration guidelines and QR codes for both programs on Wednesday, with the bulky waste collection scheduled to run every Saturday.

The initiatives are designed to promote environmentally sustainable disposal practices and discourage the dumping of large items in public areas, which often causes pollution, drainage blockages, and public health issues.

Under the Bulky Household Waste Collection Drive, dedicated vehicles will operate every Saturday across all CMC circles. These vehicles will collect large household items that cannot be disposed of through regular daily waste collection. The items covered under this drive include old furniture, mattresses, cots, cupboards, wooden furniture, and other bulky household waste. By providing this service, the CMC aims to prevent residents from dumping these large items on roadsides, open spaces, and nalas.

In a separate effort, the Divine Waste Collection Drive will facilitate the collection and environmentally responsible disposal of devotional offerings from local temples. This program will target items such as flowers, garlands, coconuts, and other religious offerings.

The CMC will establish designated collection points at identified temples where devotees can deposit their offerings. The municipal corporation plans to identify and register participating temples, followed by awareness campaigns to encourage public participation.

Once collected, the devotional offerings will be temporarily stored before undergoing the customary Udvasana Puja, a final ritual. Following the ritual, trained volunteers will dismantle and segregate the materials. The segregated waste will then be handed over to authorized recyclers for final processing.
