Belagavi: Bengaluru city produces 6,000 tonnes of garbage every day and the state government was mulling setting up waste-to-energy units to address the issue of garbage management, Karnataka deputy chief minister G Parameshwara said on Wednesday, December 12.
Responding to S T Somashekar in the assembly about problems due to garbage dumpyards in his constituency, Parameshwara, who is also in-charge of Bengaluru city related affairs, said the area under Mahanagara Palike has grown from 250 sqkm to around 800 sqkm.
He said household garbage of 4000 tonnes was produced every day. “Along with bulk garbage from apartments, marriage halls and restaurants, it is about 6000 tonnes totally….its collection, storage and transportation is a big issue,” he said.
The deputy chief minister said the government was taking steps to bring the garbage issue under control, as he noted that the city was popular as ‘garbage city’ these days.
Parameshwara, who recently visited France to study that countrys waste management model, said by setting up waste-to-energy units and incinerating the garbage collected, “we will not have to dump them at places.”
