Text for trash in India

Link: NDTV.com: SMS for garbage free neighbourhood

Hot on the heels of the post about Channel 4’s Binwatch moblog comes this story from India.

There are 2500 dumps in Delhi, which are meant to be cleared everyday by either the MCD or private contractors hired by the MCD. But usually the men in charge like to wait till there is enough garbage to fill two trucks.

The Delhi government finally has a solution to the problem. One can now check the number listed on the garbage dump and SMS it to the concerned authorities. Help has been promised within 2 hours or atleast that is the idea.
