This

essay believes that

although

the residents pay the taxes for maintaining the orderliness and cleaning of the streets,

however

, the residents must hold the

responsibility

for maintaining the cleanliness as they can identify the sources of contaminants and wastes easily due to their longer presence in the area compared to

government

appointed housekeepers. Residents are bound to pay various taxes, levied by the

government

on account of providing various services, which

also

includes the

tax

for maintaining the cleanliness and sanitation in the surrounding of residential areas. The money collected in the form of

tax

, from residents, is utilized for hiring

third

party housekeeping services, which is given the

responsibility

to maintain the cleaning of residential areas. A recent survey suggests, in developed countries civilians pay about 3% of the total income in the form of

tax

for cleaning and sanitation. Residents and occupants, who have a longer presence in the areas, stand responsible to maintain the cleanliness in the surroundings. Because of their longer presence they can gauge for the sources of contamination and the wastages, be it people from

next

house or someone from another street, and

this

can be informed to the concerned contractor or the housekeeper, responsible for maintaining the

. So that necessary action can be taken for eliminating the source of waste and contamination. According to The Earth, a television channel, in societies, where people own the

responsibility

to maintain the surroundings clean are found much cleaner, compare to those dependent on the

government

bodies for cleaning. To conclude, in my opinion, though the civilians pay a hefty

tax

to the

government

for keeping the surroundings well cleaned, the locals should own the

responsibility

for better control over the contaminants and wastes.
