The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation is looking to develop a roadmap for the next few years to solve the solid waste management (SWM) problem in the city. What is more important is that the project will factor in people’s participation in a big way.

The initiative under Vision 2030 will see the corporation posting their opinions on a website link. This survey, reported this paper, will find the perceptions of people about cleaning Mumbai, a window into their ratings of various services of the SWM department like street sweeping, waste collection, maintenance of public toilets, etc. It will also seek citizens’ ideas about making the city cleaner and whether they are ready to segregate dry and wet waste at their homes. The survey will fulfil a two-pronged aim, to get a perspective and ensure participation.
