Corporation starts biomining to dispose of accumulated waste

The Hindu  

Coimbatore Corporation has started in a limited way the process to dispose of the waste it had accumulated over the years without segregating it as degradable, wet waste and recyclable and inert dry waste. The ₹60.01-crore project, called the bio-mining process, involves conveying 9.4 lakh cubic metre waste over sieves to segregate the waste, based on size. The responsibility of processing and selling the waste lay with the company that had won the bid, the sources said and added that the company would take two years to completely process the 9.4 lakh cubic metre. Though the project would help the Corporation dispose of most of the waste, the civic body would not be able to clear the entire 15 lakh cubic metre waste in Vellalore, said sources. The sources said the civic body could not include the remaining six-lakh cubic metre of waste because it was left with funds to cover only nine lakh cubic metre.
