The Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has started an innovative way to make sure that construction debris is disposed of safely or processed for other construction activities, ready-mix concrete, manufacturing paver blocks, etc.
NMC has invited bids for choosing a firm for transportation and collection of the construction and demolition (C&D) waste.
As well as setting up a 150 tonnes per day (TPD) treatment plant on public-private-partnership (PPP) for 20 years on design, finance, built, own, operate and transfer (DFBOOT) at Bhandewadi dumping yard. However, NMC would not make any money from this project.
The city produces nearly 1,200 MT solid waste right now and 150 MT C&D waste, consisting of stones, bricks, debris dumped into rivers, roadsides, open spaces or near trees, constantly impacting natural resources, water bodies, and biodiversity.
