Operations of construction waste plant in Rajarhat to begin operations

The Rajarhat construction and demolition waste recovery plant will finally begin operating. Construction trash will be crushed at the factory to create "aggregates" that can be used with concrete to pave roads. Concrete blocks, pile caps, and broken tiles are examples of non- biodegradable construction trash. They can be utilised for driveway paving. A 5-acre parcel of land was given to a private company for the building of a mechanical unit for construction waste recovery, a source in the KMC solid waste management department said.

According to the official, the civic organisation will remove rubbish from smaller housing complexes and transport it to the crusher facility in Rajarhat rather than disposing of it in landfills. A factory will need to be established up at the building site for larger projects, each of which will produce 20 tonnes or more of garbage every day, according to the local official.

After receiving a 5-acre parcel of land from HIDCO, the KMC's solid waste management department decided to build the facility at Rajarhat. Sources at the KMC claim that a contract was signed with a private company to establish and run a building waste recovery plant for ten years.

"We are counting on this project to help solve Kolkata's building waste issues. Rapid construction has been taking place in the city. If this concept works, we could need to consider setting up a comparable plant to handle a larger volume of construction waste. For this goal, we have already begun looking for suitable land, said the KMC official.
