Corporation to sell manure produced from waste
Coimbatore Corporation has planned to sell the organic
waste it has produced by implementing the Shunya segregated waste
management system in Ward 23. According to sources, Mayor P. Rajkumar,
who inspected the stored waste in R.S. Puram on Monday, suggested that
the civic body should not give it free to people as human labour gone
behind producing the manure.
The Corporation workers
in Ward 23, which comprises parts of R.S. Puram, had collected waste in
segregated fashion, taken away the green, degradable waste to produce
organic manure. They had done so for the last one year.
The workers had produced nearly 30 tonne waste, which has been packed in pouches of 1 kg each.
