GHMC Starts QR-Code Pilot for Door-to-Door Waste Pickup in Nalanda Nagar

Officials will weigh a citywide rollout based on pilot results.

Overview

  • Swachh Auto Tipper drivers in Nalanda Nagar, Hyderguda, are scanning household QR codes after each collection to upload visit data and verify daily pickups.
  • The system creates a record that helps officials track coverage, spot lapses, and identify households not handing over waste for targeted outreach.
  • Commissioner R. V. Karnan inspected the pilot on Tuesday and ordered strict monitoring of attendance and performance, warning that negligence or supervisory failures will not be tolerated.
  • On Wednesday he led wider sanitation inspections from Indira Park to Secunderabad Railway Station, reinforcing daily door-to-door collection and clean public spaces across the city.
  • GHMC clarified the household collection pilot is separate from a proposal to QR-code buildings for records, and vendors were told to keep disposal bags, compost green waste, and reuse coconut shells.
