The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has introduced an online portal to streamline the collection and disposal of construction and demolition (C&D) waste across the capital, enabling residents, developers, and contractors to request pickups through a digital interface.

Authorities have allowed free collection for waste up to one metric tonne, with prescribed charges beyond that limit. The system is expected to strengthen compliance, reduce unauthorised dumping, and support recycling efforts in Delhi's construction sector.Read more
