FAQs

Why should I care how C&D waste is disposed of?

As per the C&D waste rules and regulations issued by authorities such as Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) as well as Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), the waste generator is responsible for segregation, collection as well as proper disposal of C&D waste.

Can I give waste that is not segregated?

There is value in waste only if it is segregated properly. Like with municipal solid waste (MSW), it would be difficult to retrieve the useful items from waste if everything is mixed together. It is highly recommended that different waste categories be segregated as much as possible.

When should I call Saahas for collection of C&D waste?

It is best to involve us before you start renovation/remodelling so that we can be involved from the beginning and guide your workers on waste management accordingly.

Why should I call Saahas for collection of C&D waste?

We know your contractor/tractor guy provides seamless service and collects the waste from your doorstep and disposes it without your involvement. But, the waste is mixed and no value can be derived from this. It generally gets dumped illegally within the city or in villages in the outskirts of the city.

Does Saahas have any restriction on minimum quantity/weight for pick up?

We do not have any restriction on minimum quantity/weight for pick up. We would like to optimise our collection as much as possible and towards this we request you to hold onto small quantities of waste and we will arrange for collection within a week's time.

Are there any penalties for dumping of C&D waste?

Yes, there are penalties in place for mixing and dumping of C&D waste.

INR 1000/- for mixing of C&D waste with MSW.
INR 5000/- for the first time illegal dumping.
INR 25000/- for subsequent dumping episodes.

Do I have to pay any charges for collection of C&D waste?

Yes, this is a chargeable service and the waste generator will need to pay the charges for disposal. However, since we are at the pilot stage of this project we will be doing the first few collections for free of cost.

What will Saahas do with C&D waste?

Saahas will send the segregated waste to authorised recyclers. The waste will then be processed into new products, re-used or repurposed. As of now, we do not have proper end destinations for a few of the waste categories, but we are working towards this.

Who is the target audience for this project?

If you are a Residents Welfare Association (RWA) or a citizen living in BBMP South zone, you are our target audience. This project is specifically meant for non-bulk generators (citizens and not commercial establishments) of C&D waste falling within the purview of BBMP South zone.

Can I use the services of Saahas regularly for collection of C&D waste?

Yes, you can use our services for regular collection of C&D waste.

Testimonials

Construction and demolition waste is stoic when it comes to legal disposal. Saahas initiative on awareness and collection of C&D waste is an astronomical and need of the hour step towards responsible disposal. For once the much dreaded C&D and bulky waste have found their recyclers and not devouring another beautiful village for landfill.

I urge citizens to get in touch with Saahas on their helpline number 8510091213 when you carry out any kind of renovation or construction activities for a hassle free and legal disposal of C&D waste. Saahas team has been highly responsive for all our clearance requests.

I had a great experience with Saahas. We met the team at a community event and they were really friendly and helpful. A few months later we were trying to think how to responsibly dispose of a lot of old wooden chip-boards from our old house. We called the number on the flyer and they immediately asked us to send pictures and organised for a pickup the next day. The team were very helpful and told us about how Saahas will organise for the materials to be recycled. This was great as the boards we had were not useful to us but in good condition and we knew that if they reached the right hands they could still be out to good use.

We were really impressed with Saahas and the effort they are putting into creating a system for safe and positive material recycling. We would definitely call them again!

Wanted to dispose of the broken floor tiles.Was wondering how to dispose this waste. Our residence association had forwarded the contact number of Sahaas who would handle the disposal.They immediately responded to my call by sending a person for inspection of the material, the very next day of my call.They arranged to remove this waste within a day after their inspection.

Daily waste collector collects only dry & wet waste. Saahas help in collecting bulk & building material waste which is recycled. This really helps the people who want to dispose such material without running around pillars as to how to dispose it. The staff of Saahas were very polite in their interaction & were very prompt. A big thank you to them.

After taking up some renovations at our public park in 3rd Block, Koramangala, we were left with some amount of debris. Around the same time we were introduced to the Saahas team which had started a new venture to tackle Construction and Debris waste. It was like God sent. They quickly inspected the debris and sent it to clear it.

This is a very essential and important division started by Saahas. With constant awareness, I think, people will be happy to use this service. It’s quite hassle free.
Suvarna, 3rd Block Koramangala

I have been living in Bangalore for the past 25 years and several times faced problem as how to dispose waste material such as electronic waste, construction waste safely. Often I had to spent lot of time to dispose it responsibly, but it drains energy.

Recently I saw a WhatsApp message from Saahas Waste Management and I am quite happy and relieved to see that there is an effort to promote waste segregation and people like me can make use of their services. So I did contact them and their representative visited the premises, checked the waste material and discussed about how they want to make the segregation of waste material at the point of waste generation.

They took it up on themselves to help clearing the waste material without charging a fee. I am sure Bangalore will get benefitted by their commitment and efforts. As person who has been living in Bangalore for a long time, I am sure they achieve their goals and we will have cleaner Bangalore tomorrow. We wish Saahas team the very the best.
Babu Varghese, BTM 2nd Stage

We had used window frames and unused tiles after our house renovation, which was taking lot of space and we wanted to give it to some person who can make use of it rather than selling it for some money. Then one day during our community events in 3rd block Koramangala Sahaas team came to educate our community on how to dispose construction waste. Then we contacted the Sahaas team, they sent a person to our place to inspect the things to be collected, and he inspected and told us what are all things they will collect, and fixed date and time of collection in coming days. They arrived on fixed day and with in 30 mins all items got collected , and I got my 10ft x 10ft terrace space for gardening . Kudos to Sahaas team. This type of collection drive helps the person who is giving thigs to get rid of clutter in his/her place in responsible manner, and more importantly waste won't get into landfills and it gets reused.
