Hyderabad Boosts Waste Management for Construction Boom

A new Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste transfer station has been inaugurated at Gowlidoddi, marking a significant step in waste management for western Hyderabad. This facility, located in Serilingampally Zone of Cyberabad Municipal Corporation (CMC), will serve as a collection and aggregation point for C&D waste generated in Narsingi, Nallagandla, Gachibowli, and Madhapur. Its establishment is expected to reduce transportation distances for debris, thereby curbing indiscriminate dumping in roads, drains, and open spaces.

The new transfer station, operated by Re Sustainability, will work in tandem with the existing C&D waste processing facility in Jeedimetla. By providing a localized transfer point, the CMC anticipates faster debris lifting, improved vehicle utilization, and reduced transportation costs. Officials emphasize that C&D waste should be viewed as a resource, and agencies involved in civil works are now advised to ensure debris is handed over to authorized processing agencies.

The cost associated with the collection, transportation, and processing of C&D waste is to be integrated into project estimates. The authorized service provider will offer doorstep collection and processing services, with user charges applicable as per established norms. This initiative aims to strengthen the entire C&D waste management cycle, facilitating greater recovery and reuse of construction materials in Cyberabad.
