PIMPRI CHINCHWAD: To improve solid waste segregation to 100% from the current 70% at source and reduce the daily garbage load of 1,100 metric tonnes, the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) will set up four waste transfer stations across the civic limits.
The stations will be set in Old Sangvi, Kasarwadi, Nigdi, and Kalewadi. These stations, according to PCMC additional commissioner Vikas Dhakane, will cut the cost of waste transfer, processing and disposal. “We have studied the Indore and Bhubaneshwar model of segregation, where waste transfer stations have played a key role in the garbage disposal systems of those cities. We have identified land for the stations and work will begin soon,” Dhakane told TOI.
Meanwhile, the PCMC has organised a ‘Ploggathon 2021’ on November 21. Activities on cleanliness will be conducted in 32 wards.
