Secretariat and Karamana areas will have two each. Ever Since the Kiosk was opened, resident associations have been requesting the Corporation to set up one near their areas. However the Corporation at present is not looking to install the unit in every street corner. A maximum of 15 kiosks is the threshold that it has set for itself now.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have been getting on an average around 60 kilograms of waste at the kiosk and it is increasing by the day. But we are not calling it a success yet as it can be decided only after a considerable period of time, especially during the monsoon when the nature and amount of waste changes,\u201d says S.Pushpalatha, Chairperson of the Corporation\u2019s Health Standing Committee to The Hindu.<\/p>\n<p>One Kiosk will cost Rs30,000 and the Corporation is seeking sponsors. The Corporation is also waiting for takers for the manure produced from the treated waste from the kiosks. The civic body will transport the manure for free within a 25 kilometre radius of the city.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"Trivandrum City to address e-waste management\" href=\"http:\/\/news.entecity.com\/city-to-address-e-waste-management\/\" target=\"_blank\">Trivandrum City to address e-waste management<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"CCTV Cameras to nab waste dumpers\" href=\"http:\/\/news.entecity.com\/cctv-cameras-to-nab-waste-dumpers\/\" target=\"_blank\">CCTV Cameras to nab waste dumpers<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With the new system, residents can hand over the waste to the kiosks for a fee of Rs.5.
