The general guide on RTI for garbage collection failure covers the full template, decision steps, case law and FAQs. This page focuses on the Dehradun-specific bits: which municipal department to file at, what fee mode Dehradun Municipal Corporation accepts, the local portal (if any), and where to escalate within Uttarakhand.

1. Identify the office. Dehradun Municipal Corporation (Municipal Solid Waste Officer) typically sits at Dehradun Municipal Corporation headquarters or the relevant zonal office.
2. Pay the fee: Rs. 10 IPO/cash; check the Uttarakhand hub for any state-specific fee.
3. File: online via https://www.nagarnigamdehradun.com/ OR by Speed Post to Dehradun Municipal Corporation (with acknowledgment).
4. Track: 30-day clock starts from receipt by the public authority.

1. Day 31: file First Appeal under §19(1) to the FAA (typically the Municipal Commissioner of Dehradun Municipal Corporation).
2. Day 75-76: file Second Appeal to the Uttarakhand State Information Commission.
3. Parallel pressure: Use the Dehradun Municipal Corporation grievance portal (if available) and CPGRAMS (pgportal.gov.in).

• For city-wide patterns (not just your case), check RTI for garbage collection failure in Uttarakhand for the state-level template.
• If Dehradun Municipal Corporation has multiple zones/wards, address your application to the zonal officer of your specific zone — saves time on internal routing.
• Photograph the building/road/issue with a timestamp before filing — strengthens any subsequent enforcement action.
