Over two dozen layouts have been brought under MCC limits. Once the residents start paying tax to the civic body, it will be bound to handle waste generated in these areas. However, is the MCC ready to handle more waste with its present infrastructure of labour and machinery?

Its plan now has to take into account waste generation for the next 20 years at least. Otherwise, any infrastructure upgrade will serve no purpose. Sources say the MCC has planned the infrastructure for 2030.
