AHMEDABAD: Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF) asked Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) to look for alternative solutions for the Pirana landfill site other than capping.
There are three garbage hills at Pirana landfill site. Out of the three garbage hills, one is Ajmeri hill, the oldest one, which has not been used by the AMC since 1990. Talking to a media person, Harshad Solanki, director of Solid Waste Management said, “Bio-mining of that site is not possible. It can only be used for resurfacing the land or can be used to mix with organic fertilizer, he added.
“AMC had proposed Tata Consultancy Services to prepare a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for capping off one of the garbage hill”, said a senior AMC official. Earlier, the civic body gave the project of preparing DPR to IL&FS, he added. Two companies have already been appointed to use legacy waste as well as the daily solid waste to generate electricity. After the drive of segregated waste collection, around 20-25 per cent of the dry waste has been recycled while the remaining is wet waste.
