Register for Waste Pickup
Register your household for door-to-door garbage collection and segregated waste pickup through your municipal corporation's solid waste management portal or app, and the local ward sanitation office - rules and user charges vary by city.
Required Documents
Step-by-Step Process
Find Your City's SWM Portal or App
Search for your municipal corporation's solid waste management (SWM) service - many cities run a dedicated app (e.g. Swachhata-MoHUA app) alongside the corporation's website.
Register Your Household
Enter your address, ward number, and property tax details to register for regular door-to-door collection service.
Set Up Waste Segregation at Source
Arrange separate bins for wet (biodegradable), dry (recyclable), and hazardous/sanitary waste, as most corporations now mandate segregated collection and may fine mixed waste.
Pay the User/Collection Fee
Pay the monthly/annual user charge (often bundled with the property tax bill or collected separately by ward-level waste collectors) through the portal or in cash.
Track Pickup Schedule and Complaints
Use the app/portal to check your area's collection timing, track the GPS location of the garbage vehicle if available, and file a complaint for missed pickups.
Pro Tips & Warnings
- Keep wet and dry waste in separate, clearly marked bins - many corporations now refuse to collect unsegregated mixed waste or levy a fine.
- Hand over e-waste, batteries, and expired medicines separately to designated collection drives rather than mixing them with daily household waste.
- If your society/apartment has its own composting or bulk-waste arrangement, check whether it's registered with the corporation to avoid duplicate charges.
