These, in turn, will be re-distributed to the poor in the city.

Swach is operating the V-Collect van and it will run in the city from November 5-13.

Additional municipal commissioner Kunal Khemnar, solid waste management department’s Madhav Jagtap, additional commissioner Yashwant Dange and the Swach organisation’s Alok Gogate and Laxmi Narayan, launched the van on Friday.

Swach issued a press statement that said, “V collect has been a regular and much-in-demand initiative of the PMC-Swach model through which citizens give away discarded, but reusable items. Diwali is one of the busiest times of the year for all those in waste management.”
