New crushing units to treat hard garbage in Pune
In an effort to tackle hard garbage treating, the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has said that it will set up special crushing units to treat the hard garbage in Pune. Treating hard garbage like tree branches and coconut shells had always been a problem for the civic authorities. These kinds of garbage also causes technical problems to the processing units. Therefore in a bid to do away with these glitches the municipal corporation will set up small units in different parts of the city.

Each processing plant will cost around three lakh. Pramod Yadav, special officer in-charge of waste disposal and processing at PMC have said that the new plants will be installed in four places in the city.
