MCD will support green waste management infrastructure

14 Apr 2023 CW Team

Green trash management was originally implemented by the former South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC), which has since merged with the North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) and East Delhi Municipal Corporation (EDMC). “At SDMC, we have been managing green garbage for the past few years. We want to deploy it across Delhi now that all three corporations have been combined to become MCD,” said an official from SDMC. “The department strives to compost all green waste at a rate of 100 percent. It currently has a 73% standing. For a 52-acre area, we need at least one green waste handling facility”, he continued.

Any organic waste that can be composted, such as grass, leaves, small branches, and pruning, is referred to as green trash. For the transfer of garbage to the centres, numerous vehicles are needed for green waste management. Also, a number of items of equipment are needed to guarantee the thorough management of trash. In response to a question on the resources needed to increase the capacity for composting, the official estimated that the horticulture department would require a budget of about Rs 140 million.

“To ensure that the 52 Green waste management centres operate effectively, the department has to spend about Rs 3 crores on the purchase of a shredder-cum-wood chipper, MS weld mesh, and vermicomposting beds. In the meantime, it will cost more than Rs 100 million to maintain the trees that line the roads and remove the green trash. The additional 25 trucks, eight new ambulances, fourteen new hydraulic tree pruners, and 67 drivers will all be purchased with this money”, he continued. The department also need 400 MS weld mesh composting units, 700 vermicomposting beds, as opposed to the current 301, and 44 more chippers.

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) intends to expand the number of green waste management centres to 52 throughout the city in the upcoming years in an effort to achieve 100% composting of organic waste. According to officials, this action would eliminate the need to purchase compost while also reducing air pollution and promoting the environmentally friendly disposal of green waste. According to the official, there are already 38 green waste treatment facilities operating around Delhi, producing an average of 70 MT of compost each month.
