Garbage: a weighty issue now

As if solving the garbage crisis was not tough enough, the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike is now facing another challenge: of correctly weighing the solid waste generated in the city. Following directions from the High Court of Karnataka, the BBMP has taken up the garbage weighing exercise in all earnestness from February 1. A senior official said that garbage weighing was being taken up at private weighbridges on the way to the landfills. We concur with the High Court’s view that the data on actual garbage generated in the city is a crucial aspect to decide on commissioning waste processing units,” the official said.
