In order to make the shift from dumping to stream-wise processing, the State Government has invested over INR 440 crores towards building infrastructure for processing. Aligning with the city strategy we have set up a variety of units to process different streams of waste. Segregation at Source will enable the maximisation of the capacity of these units, resulting in only 10-15% of our waste entering the sanitary landfill.
As of 2017, we have built 189 Dry Waste Collection Centres, 11 Bio-methanation Units (5TPD), 7 Organic Waste Converters/Tank Composting Units, 4 Leaf litter processing Units, 2 Coconut Waste Processing Units, 10 Integrated Waste Processing Plants (of which 6 are BBMP built Plants) and 3 Sanitary Landfills.
