In the last one year, the BMC served notices to over 16.6 lakh properties across Mumbai - both residential and non-residential - for failing to segregate waste at source. Of this, 14.41 lakh notices were served to households alone, while the rest were served to non-residential structures (1.8 lakh) and other premises (38,443).

In mid-February 2014, the corporation began services for door-to-door collection of dry waste in all wards. Data from the civic body shows that till March 20, 2014, the service has been made available to 25.9 lakh households, 2.23 lakh non-residential structures and 53,648 premises. In many cases, they have also served a second notice. If the respondents still fail to comply, the corporation plans to start the procedure for prosecution.
