In a bold move to tackle Nagpur’s escalating garbage problem and prevent dangerous fires, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) is launching a cutting-edge 500-metric tonne waste processing unit at Bhandewadi. Spanning seven acres, this high-tech facility aims to drastically reduce the city’s notorious garbage piles and the fire hazards associated with them.
Following a major fire at the Bhandewadi dumping yard, the urgency to address Nagpur’s waste crisis has reached new heights. With the city producing over 1,300 metric tonnes of waste daily, this new unit will boost the processing capacity to 1,800 tonnes, a crucial upgrade for the city’s waste management system.
But this isn’t just another landfill. The unit will utilize advanced technology to efficiently separate and recycle waste. Magnets will pull out metals, blowers will sort plastics and paper, all of which can be sold in the market. The rest will be transformed into compost and refuse-derived fuel (RDF), making sure nothing goes to waste.
The private-public partnership model ensures efficiency, as NMC will hire a private firm to operate the facility. Firms will compete to process waste, with the lowest bidder securing the contract.
This revolutionary project promises not only cleaner streets but also a significant reduction in pollution and fire risks. Environmentalists and citizens are hailing it as a much-needed step toward a cleaner, safer Nagpur.
It’s time to turn garbage into opportunity—Nagpur’s waste future is looking cleaner than ever!
