Residential societies looking to avail rebate on property taxes in exchange for segregating or processing their waste will be monitored by the local Advance Locality Management (ALM) groups. Civic chief Praveen Pardeshi, while citing staff shortage, said that ALMs can help ensure that residents continue to manage their solid waste after receiving rebates.

"We have given incentives to residential societies and we need to ensure that they don't stop after getting the rebate. The ALMs can help monitor compliance. A circular will be issued soon," he said adding that the BMC did not have enough staff for it.
