Kurnool Waste Management Projects To Expedite For Cleaner Garbage Disposal
Kurnool has a very large amount of old garbage in two dump yards.
Officials are cleaning this old garbage through a scientific process called bio-mining.
A new Waste-to-Energy plant will be built at Gargeyapuram.
It is expected to make electricity from fresh city waste.
The plant is estimated to cost Rs 330 crore.
Another facility will turn daily garbage into materials that can be reused.
This second plant is designed to process 200 metric tonnes of waste each day.
Officials were asked to complete both projects quickly and properly.
Nearly 10 lakh metric tonnes of legacy waste are spread across 60 acres at Gargeyapuram and Joharapuram dump yards.
The legacy garbage is undergoing scientific bio-mining remediation.
A Rs 330 crore Waste-to-Energy plant is planned on 15 acres at Gargeyapuram under the PPP model.
An Integrated Solid Waste Management Plant is being developed on 9.5 acres at a cost of Rs 8 crore.
Officials and contractors were directed to meet project timelines and maintain quality standards.
