The Patna Municipal Corporation (PMC) has started a Cash for Waste scheme for common people at the recently established Material Recovery Facility (MRF). People are being paid for their dry waste under a prescribed price list for each item. The state-of-the-art facility has a capacity of processing 2 tonnes of dry garbage and 1.5 tonnes of wet waste per day. It has been named Pink MRF as it is run by women workers. The MRF has been set up by PMC with the help of the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, German institution GIZ and other organizations.
