To eliminate GVPs from Visakhapatnam, GVMC started
with provision of 100% door to door waste collection
service to avoid creation of new GVPs and the city
administration took it upon itself to eliminate all the
existing GVPs in the city.
Earlier, due to inefficient segregation at source and
lesser coverage of door to door to collection services,
the city was experiencing open disposal of garbage.
These points, also known as garbage vulnerable points
or black spots are areas in the neighborhood where
unofficial or indiscriminate dumping of garbage takes
place. In Visakhapatnam, GVPs earlier have caused
pollution of surface and of ground water, present
unsightly appearance along with posing threat to the
health of humans, wildlife and environment. Keeping in
view the various consequences arising from GVPs and
also to uplift the sanitation standards, municipal bodies
have begun to take a closer look at this unacceptable
disposal practice.
