Manesar Tackles Waste Woes with New Sites

Manesar is implementing a new plan to systematically handle construction and demolition (C&D) waste, addressing growing concerns over unregulated dumping. Designated collection and processing sites are being developed within municipal limits to ensure C&D waste is managed appropriately. This proactive measure aims to curb illegal dumping in open areas, which has led to environmental issues and resident inconvenience.

The Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation, with a private firm, is setting up a 100-tonnes-per-day C&D waste processing plant. While tenders have been floated for site development, including boundary walls and segregation arrangements, a clear timeline for the plant's operation is yet to be announced. Until the plant is operational, the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram's facility will be used for disposal.

This initiative is expected to promote scientific disposal methods and enhance monitoring of waste management. Manesar currently generates about 10 tonnes per day of C&D waste, a stark contrast to Gurugram's 1,500-2,000 TPD. The new system will support waste recycling and contribute to a cleaner urban environment, with a rollout anticipated in the coming weeks.
