The disposal of waste collected at the venues will be the responsibility of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi and the New Delhi Municipal Council.

Waste compounds have been set up at all venues from where the civic agencies will collect the waste.

A two-bin system will be in place at all the venues with green colour bins for bio-degradable waste and blue-colour bins for recyclable waste.

Apart from 46 staff directly hired by the Organising Committee, the vendors will deploy 4,500 staff across all venues.
