In order to encourage residential societies to deal with their waste themselves, the BMC will offer a rebate on property taxes. The proposal states that societies will get a 5 per cent rebate if they segregate their waste and compost their wet waste. Another 5 per cent to those who can sell 50 per cent of their dry waste to recycling vendors and another 5 per cent to those who can reuse their grey water in toilet flushes.
