Tax relief for waste reduction scheme
Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) commissioner R A Rajeev has offered a 5% property tax reduction to housing societies who reduce their waste by more than 50% and recycle the waste generated in their compounds.
More than 700 plus metric tonnes of waste is generated every day and dumped into the private landfills or illegally burnt in forest land.
In order to tackle this issue, a citizens’ campaign will assist civic authorities to reduce waste and to experiment recycling and reuse of waste.
Those who manage to reduce the waste between 25% and 50% will get a reduction of 3% property tax.
