The Tiruchi City Corporation is all set to establish another 17 more micro- composting yards following the success of the 34 units already functioning in the city.
Apart from playing a pivotal role in achieving litter-free streets across the city, the micro-composting yards will also ensure that dumping of solid waste at the Ariyamangalam dump yard is stopped within a span of two years, officials of the civic body said.
“The yards are equipped to take in and process all the biodegradable waste generated in their designated areas assigned to each," an official said.
“The 17 new units will come up at Corporation offices, zonal offices, pumping stations in corporation zones, Junior Engineer's unit offices, Commissioner's quarters. One unit has also been proposed at the Central Bus stand,” said S. Sivasubramanian, City corporation Commissioner.
