Decentralized Waste Processing Could Save BMC Billions Annually

Decentralized Waste Processing Could Save BMC Billions Annually

Mumbai is producing a lot of trash!

Right now, the city spends a lot of money to take waste to landfills far away.

A report suggests the city could save a lot of money, over a billion rupees, if each neighborhood handled its own waste.

This is because the city spends money on two things: transporting trash to a far off area, and operating the landfill.

By dealing with trash closer to home, the city could save money.

This could also include reducing waste sent to landfills which helps the environment.
