Its good imitative but support system does not exists
Initative from the citizens is welcome and how do we maintain the same over the period.
How many of us threw the plastic or any other like paper on the road side in our daily life??? even during car driving outside the city???
How many times did we get the Dustbin in public places to put garbage say in the city streets???
Many times dustbins are
Many times dustbins are stolen/vandalised by people. They steal/vandal allmost everything. So next demand is to have police system/community patrol working ! :)

Cement Dust bins or Metal one its generally lifted into trucks
Genrally I have seen in Pune and Mumbai metal type in Public places and Garbage truck lift them directly and pour the garbage into truck and keep them back.
Or even Cement type like 2 Meter pipe can be placed.
Kumble, Srinath to join clean-up drive
The ongoing drive to clean up K.R. Market will get a spot of cricketing glamour if Mayor B.S. Sathyanarayana has his way. He has invited Karnataka’s well-known cricketing icons Anil Kumble and Javagal Srikanth to join the drive and inspire more youngsters to pitch in.
The Mayor said actor-turned-politician M.H. Ambareesh had also agreed to join the cleaning drive. “I request litterateurs also to join this important exercise to keep the markets in the city clean,” he said.
