Bengaluru Powers 25,000 Homes with 200 Tonnes of Waste Daily

Imagine Bengaluru has a lot of trash every day.

Instead of just burying it in big piles called landfills, they are now taking about 200 trucks full of dry trash, like plastics, and sending it to a special plant.

This plant is like a giant oven that burns the trash in a safe way to make heat.

This heat then makes electricity, like the kind that powers your lights and TV.

This electricity is enough to power about 25,000 homes!

The plant is also using the leftovers from burning the trash, called ash, to build roads.

This is a smart way to get rid of trash and make power at the same time, helping keep Bengaluru cleaner and greener.
