The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC) community centres (Suvidha kendra) that provide toilets, bathrooms, and drinking water, also have 'laundries' – washing machines – for those who cannot afford them. While the Ghatkopar and Andheri community centres already have washing machines, the one at G North ward (Dharavi) that will have one of the largest community toilets with 111 seats when it is opened, will also have them, as will the remaining centres.

The BMC, in partnership with private organisations, is constructing the largest community toilet at Dharavi, in a community centre, which will be opened for use by the end of October. As per the initial plans, the target is to attract a large number of people from the slums who can use the facilities at a marginal amount of about R 150 per household per month. A community-based organisation appointed by the BMC will operate it.
