Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) is planning to implement a decentralised waste management system for proper disposal of solid waste in residential sectors of Greater Noida.
Five clusters will be formed across all sectors including Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and others. Each cluster will comprise of eight to ten thousand of houses through which 15-20 tonnes of waste will be generated daily. For disposal of this waste properly, a material recovery facility (MRF) will be established in each cluster. Authorities have ear-marked 2000 sq. meter of land parcels for setting up these MRFs.
An EOI has been floated for this and over a dozen companies have reportedly shown interest.
