The Chennai Corporation had earlier announced that if a resident collects plastic wastes and gives it to the Civic body, they will get a gold coin or a wrist watch. This scheme comes into effect from 1st September.
Each of the 200 wards will have a dedicated worker to collect thin plastic waste from residents on Wednesdays and Saturdays between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. The residents will get a token after handing over of the plastic waste to the engineers concerned.
One resident in each ward will be selected every month for distribution of the gold coins. Five other residents will receive wrist watches each. The civic body will incur an expenditure of Rs. 18 lakh for three months on a pilot basis.
