The Jalpally municipality in Rangareddy has finally found a practical solution to the waste disposal issue. The Legacy Waste Disposal Unit that was set up last year is now in operation and providing a way to deal with the garbage problem. The municipality, which has 28 wards, generates a huge amount of garbage every day, about 4-6 tonnes. In the past, there were no suitable locations for waste disposal, but now the new unit in ward 21 is helping to address the problem. The municipal commissioner, N Vasanth Reddy, said that the unit was set up with a fund of over Rs.2.5 crore and includes a shredder, bailing machine, and weigh bridge. A private firm was awarded the contract for solid waste management.
The waste disposal unit uses a Trommel Screening System to treat and segregate the waste. Different materials are produced from the process, including Refused Dried Fuel (RDF) for cement factories, inert and construction and demolition (C&D) material for landfilling and road farming, and bio-soil for nurseries and non-food crops. About 15-20 lorries of waste are brought to the unit every day for processing. The unit can process 300-350 tonnes of waste per day. The project manager, Pavan Kumar, from CUBE-BIO Energy Pvt Ltd, explained that they will complete the processing within the next 15-20 days.
This waste disposal unit is not only helping Jalpally but also other municipalities like Ibrahimpatnam, Tukkuguda, Shadnagar, PeddaAmberpet, and Adibatla. Once the processing is complete, the company takes care of the multipurpose material produced at the unit.
