Mohali industrial area dumping ground: Aim to level garbage pile by end of year, says Mayor

The mayor further said that Mohali generates 80 tonnes of garbage daily out of which 50 tonnes reaches the site and the rest of the wet garbage is processed at 16 sites of the civic body and converted into
compost.

“Around 600 tonnes of garbage was being processed daily at the dumping ground in Mohali and if the rainy season had not dragged on last year, the work would have been completed to a large extent,” he said.

He said that the monsoon was a major hindrance in the process of waste processing and the work had come to a complete standstill. The mayor added that if the rains remained normal this time, then, by the end of this year, the piles of garbage would be levelled to the ground.

He said that the segregation work in the dumping ground adjacent to Phase 8B was in full swing and that plastic bags, flammable material and wet garbage were being segregated to make compost. The debris is being removed from this garbage separately.
