GURUGRAM: The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram has posted a revised list of 25 agencies authorised to handle municipal solid waste from bulk waste generators. The website dates the update to 16 October. A comparison with its earlier 23-agency list identifies Alfa Green Solutions and Go Green Facilities Services as the additions. Housing societies and other large waste generators checking a contractor's municipal listing can consult the updated roster.
The new agency list provides contact names, telephone numbers and email addresses. It does not give collection prices, service areas, available processing capacity or contract terms. Its entries are not a ranking of providers. The preceding list, dated 17 September on the website, remains available for comparison. The October update changes the published roster without announcing a citywide collection timetable.
What the current rules require
The Solid Waste Management Rules, 2026, notified on 27 January and effective from 1 April, define the covered bulk generators by alternative tests: building floor area of at least 20,000 square metres, water consumption of 40,000 litres a day, or solid waste generation of 100 kg a day. Residential societies, institutional users and the listed commercial establishments are covered when they meet a criterion.
The rules also require waste to be separated at source into wet, dry, sanitary and special-care streams. Used sanitary products must be securely wrapped and kept apart from the other streams. Construction and demolition waste and horticultural waste have separate handling requirements. A collection arrangement therefore needs to preserve separation after material leaves individual homes or offices. The framework predates this week's revised agency roster and should not be mistaken for a newly announced October rule.
Check the service and the paperwork
MCG's special advisory dated 26 May gives local vendor-management instructions. It asks bulk generators to retain agreements, bills, transporter details and compost laboratory reports for official verification. They must disclose whether they segregate, collect, process and dispose of waste themselves or hire an agency for some or all of those activities. Where services are outsourced, the advisory calls for a proper memorandum of understanding with an authorised waste picker, authorised recycler or MCG-empanelled agency. Responsibility for final disposal remains with the generator.
The advisory also directs qualifying generators to register on the MCG portal and the portal provided by the Central Pollution Control Board, then upload information at the intervals required. It distinguishes municipal solid waste from construction debris: the latter must go to the corporation's designated collection points or the Basai processing plant, rather than to agencies authorised only for municipal solid waste collection. A society comparing quotations should therefore identify the waste stream and required service before treating a provider's appearance on the revised list as sufficient for every disposal task.
The local BWG portal describes facilities for registration, exemption requests, profile updates, waste-processing data uploads and report generation. Its registration help explains that users receive credentials for their profiles and then complete their details. It also provides an exemption route for an establishment that has received a notice but believes it does not qualify. These are administrative tools, not evidence that an exemption has been granted. Its categories distinguish residential premises, institutions, commercial complexes, hospitality businesses, restaurants, event venues, and government or private-sector bodies. Its FAQ also asks generators to obtain municipal challans documenting delivery of residual waste to secondary collection points. The portal lists bwginfo@mcg.gov.in for registration problems and jcsbm@mcg.gov.in for technical issues with the system.
The portal's FAQ still presents 5,000 square metres as a bulk-generator campus test. That should not be confused with Rule 5(2): the current Gazette separately assigns waste-handling duties to gated communities and institutions above 5,000 square metres, alongside resident welfare associations, market associations, hotels and restaurants. The BWG definition uses different criteria. The FAQ also says any agency may be engaged; the dated advisory requires authorisation checks. These distinctions matter alongside the city's road-dust inspections and pollution-monitoring directions, but the revised list itself establishes neither a provider's capacity nor compliance at a particular property.
