Malkajgiri Plans Aerobic Composters and Biogas Plants for Waste Management
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.
Malkajgiri Municipal Corporation reviewed projects and pending works under SBMU 2.0.
Aerobic composters are planned for all gated communities to process wet waste at its source.
Officials were told to identify bulk waste generators and establish biogas plants on their premises.
Coconut shell traders will be linked with coir industries to prevent improper disposal.
Women from self-help groups may receive training to turn flower waste into dhoop and incense sticks.
