Aerobic composters, biogas plants planned in Malkajgiri · thehansindia.com

Malkajgiri is planning new ways to handle waste.

Aerobic composters will be placed in gated communities to turn wet waste into compost.

This could reduce the amount of waste sent elsewhere.

Large waste producers may get biogas plants to use their wet waste.

Coconut shells will be connected to coir industries instead of being thrown away.

Flower waste will be processed into useful products.

Women in self-help groups may be trained to make dhoop and incense sticks.

The program is intended to improve waste management and create job opportunities.

Officials were told to complete the projects on time.
