Wet and dry waste processing has begun in Ullal
Wet and dry waste processing has started in Ullal and in another six months no waste will be sent to Mangaluru for processing and disposal at Pachchanady, said Ullal City Municipal Commissioner Rayappa here on Saturday.
Speaking at a workshop on ‘Making Mangaluru an Environmentally Just City: Sustainable and Just Solid Waste Management Strategies’, Mr. Rayappa said the Ullal City Municipal Council has started processing both dry and wet waste, generated by about 65,000 people in the municipality limits.
The dry waste in the municipality area is being recycled. The manure produced by the processing of wet waste is being used by farmers in and around Ullal, he said.
