BBMP to establish 50 transfer stations

The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has plans to establish 50 transfer stations where municipal solid waste collected from households can be directly dumped into portable compactors to be transported to waste processing plants.

Five transfer stations are read and the formal inauguration will be scheduled after the by-polls, reports The Hindu.

Land is the major hurdle in setting up the remaining transfer stations. The civic body, Mr. Prasad said, had sought land from the Bangalore Development Authority. “The BDA has submitted a list of CA sites, which we are examining for suitability to set up similar facilities,” he said.
