Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) has started constructing a construction and demolition (C&D) waste processing facility costing INR 11.7 crore on a 9 acre site at Hanchya Sathagalli, near the Outer Ring Road. The plant will process around 100 tonnes of C&D waste daily, addressing a significant portion of the city's 500 tonnes of daily solid waste. Preparations include site groundwork, collection of debris, and deployment of tippers. The project also aims to reduce illegal dumping and improve recycling ahead of a Union ministry cleanliness survey scheduled for mid-March.
The Mysuru City Corporation has initiated work on a construction and demolition (C&D) waste processing plant on a 9 acre plot at Hanchya-Sathagalli, provided by the Mysuru Development Authority. The project, valued at INR 11.7 crore, marks a planned effort to manage the growing construction debris in the city. MCC has already begun collecting C&D waste from residential and construction sites, transporting some to the new site and others to the existing Vidyaranyapuram location. Advertisement
Construction and demolition waste contributes nearly 100 tonnes to the city's average 500 tonnes of daily solid waste. Previously, the absence of a dedicated facility led to frequent illegal dumping near lakes, canals, open plots, and stretches of the Outer Ring Road. MCC had implemented temporary measures to reduce such dumping, but waste continued to accumulate in protected and open areas, causing environmental concerns and sanitation challenges.
The new facility is being prioritized ahead of an assessment under the national Swachh Survekshan cleanliness survey. Teams from the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs are expected to inspect Mysuru's waste management practices, including segregation and collection. The plant is expected to enhance the city's preparedness for this survey and support better overall sanitation management.
To manage debris efficiently, MCC has deployed ten tippers to collect C&D waste systematically from residential and construction sites. Once fully operational, the plant will process about 100 tonnes of C&D waste per day. The processed materials, including crushed concrete, bricks, and aggregates, are planned to be reused in road construction and other infrastructure projects. Groundwork and preparatory activities have already begun, and actual processing is expected to start within the next four months.
Officials note that the facility will not only reduce illegal dumping but also create a circular approach to waste, allowing debris to be recycled and reused in municipal projects. This step is expected to improve Mysuru's environmental conditions and overall cleanliness standards while demonstrating a structured approach to urban waste management.
