The North Delhi Municipal Corporation on Monday announced that it will impose a complete ban on the collection of non-segregated waste — from households and commercial establishments — from November 1.

North Corporation Commissioner Sanjay Goel said the civic body will paste “red stickers” on the premises of regular defaulters. Speaking to The Hindu, Mr. Goel said the penalty for defaulters will be on a “daily basis”.

“There is not much criminality in the matter. Monetary penalty is a provision but nobody can afford to pay it all the time, so I think people would start adhering to the norms. Unless we attain a particular saturation level in waste segregation, the red stickers for defaulters will continue.”
