Nagpur: A new solid waste processing facility is being set up by Bhumi Green Pvt. Ltd. on a 10-acre plot at the Bhandewadi dumping yard. The project was inspected on Saturday (Sept 13) by Municipal Commissioner and Administrator Dr. Abhijit Chaudhary.
Under this initiative, more than 500 metric tons of waste will be processed daily. Currently, Nagpur generates around 1,300 metric tons of waste per day, of which 800 metric tons is being handled through the Subhedari (SusBDe) project. With Bhumi Green’s plant operational, another 500 metric tons will be processed, significantly reducing the heaps of garbage visible at the Bhandewadi site.
The company has been awarded a five-year contract for the project. The processed waste will be used for the production of organic fertilizers and Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF). The new facility is expected to begin full-scale operations by December this year, ensuring that nearly the entire 1,300 metric tons of daily waste generated in the city is processed.
