Mysore/Mysuru: Mysuru’s garbage problem is well-known but another crisis is growing in scale without attracting the same level of scrutiny or outcry. Thousands of tonnes of construction and demolition waste is illegally dumped at open sites, along the ring road, street corners and also on lake-beds.
Mysuru City Corporation’s (MCC) efforts to streamline the disposal of this type of debris, which carries the classification of “Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste”, have proved ineffective so far as debris continue to be dumped. Facing an uphill task of clearing thousands of tonnes of C&D waste, the MCC is now collaborating with Builders Association of India (BAI) to set up the most advanced C&D Waste Recycling Plant.
