The BMC’s plan to install community bins under roads has hit a roadblock. Due to the presence of underground utilities, the civic body has been struggling to find spots to carry out its experiment.

There are around 29 underground utilities in the city, including water pipelines, sewage lines, stormwater drains, power cables and optical fibres of private companies.
