Union Territory (UT) adviser Dharam Pal said he aims to recycle 100% C&D waste. The UT will give various options to residents to bring C&D waste to its plant in the Industrial Area.

He said that the charges, transportation modes—private or government — everything will be finalised after receiving objections and suggestions from the public.

He further added that the UT is aiming not only at the C&D waste of Chandigarh but also Panchkula and Mohali.

During the municipal corporation (MC) commissioner KK Yadav presentation related to solid waste management rules-2016, it was discussed that while residents are free to use their private vehicle to send their malba to the plant, MC vehicles will also be available but on a chargeable basis, Sources said.

Dharam Pal had recently urged the MC to expand the capacity of the C&D waste plant at Industrial Area, Phase I, for better use of recycled construction waste.
