Solid Waste Management Unit Mandatory To Get Clearance For Apartments

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) made it mandatory for large apartments to have Solid Waste Management (SWM) units for getting clearance. KSPCB has forced to make it mandatory due to inefficient waste management of BBMP and BBMP’s empathy towards proper waste management.

Citing the example of Karnataka Golf Association, Bangalore Golf club and Bangalore club, KSPCB said on-site waste management plant will have equipments to manage waste. It is estimated solid waste management plants in Bangalore can handle solid waste of over 3400 tonnes per day but only around 1200 tonnes is reached to the plant, the rest is dumped improperly by roadside, tank beds and empty sites.

The Mandur plant, where the BBMP has leased 135 acres, has a capacity of 1,000 tonnes. However, it receives only 250-300 tonnes per day. The Mavalipura plant also has a 1,000-tonne capacity, but receives just 100 tonnes. However, the Doddaballapura plant, which has a 1,000-tonne capacity doesn’t receive even a single truckload of garbage.

A few builders or developers have already installed this on their premises and effectively managing solid waste generated from their apartments. The organic manure manufactured from unit is collected by farmers and nursery in and around the apartment. Some apartments grow vegetables in apartment using the organic manure from these units.

Solid waste management plant will lessen the burden of BBMP and helps to manage solid waste effectively in the city. KSPCB has made mandatory for large apartments to have their own solid waste management unit for getting clearance from pollution board.
