BBMP SWM

There have been many trips where BBMP mayors and councillors wanted to learn about waste management in other cities. What is the output? Why are we still facing the crisis?

An unbelievable situation for modern, global Bengaluru. While city commissioner claims the landfill firm’s owner has run away, villagers continue to protest dumping of waste. The crisis seems never-ending.

The garbage crisis is back. Villagers in Mandur who’ve been bearing the brunt of Bengaluru’s garbage don’t seem to take it anymore. Where will the city’s waste go now? What can you do?

Have you ever thought about what happens to the non-vegetarian waste generated in the city? Believe it or not, BBMP lacks a formal system to handle such waste.

Problems of KCDC don’t seem to end. The processing of mixed garbage accumulated over the years is troubling the residents. MLA is asking the KCDC to shift, but the Commissioner says it is not possible.

KCDC says it has initiated a number of steps to control the foul smell emanating from its premises, even as SWM experts draw up a number of suggestions based on scientific analysis.

The state-owned composting firm is unable to handle the waste being sent, leading to waste not being processed in proper manner and unbearable stench.

The 2010 UN Habitat publication states that waste-pickers perform 50 to 100% of all ongoing waste collection in most cities in developing countries – at no cost to the city budget. How does it work for the waste-pickers in Bangalore?
