Waste management will be must for apartments in Chennai
Implementation of waste management projects will be mandatory for residential apartments in Chennai.
The Chennai Corporation is working on a proposal for compulsory source segregation of waste material at large residential apartments in the city.
If the residential complexes do not initiate these projects, they will be fined, as per a senior corporation official.
The civic body is planning to strictly enforce source segregation, especially in hotels and wedding halls, as they generate huge quantities of waste.
The residents of various apartments are happy for the proposal. However coordination between the residential associations and the corporation is required for successful implementation of the project.
As on date a 174-apartment complex in Alwarpet, have successfully implemented the source segregation project. Waste from the kitchen is segregated from the household garbage and is put in compost pits. The refuse is then used as manure.
The segregation and composting of garbage within large apartment complexes and other institutions will reduce the pressure on landfills and dumping yards. Recently, the corporation council has approved the plan to set up integrated solid waste management plants at Kodungaiyur and Perungudi.
