Uzbekistan expands digital waste management to track garbage trucks
Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
Uzbekistan is expanding the Toza makon platform to monitor household waste collection services more closely.
The government is adding online monitoring to the existing billing system to ensure sanitation companies follow their assigned routes and schedules. This update will allow authorities to track when garbage trucks enter specific areas and will eventually let residents follow the vehicles through a mobile application or a Telegram bot.
The system will also transition from charging residents based on geographical zones to providing more precise accounting based on individual addresses and collection points. The platform already allows people to pay for waste collection electronically and view their accounts. To ensure payment, authorities can now restrict electricity supply to households with outstanding bills. Residents can call a dedicated center at 1205 to submit inquiries or complaints.
The government also allows residents to request a recalculation of their fees if the waste collection service fails to meet established procedures.
