Haryana’s first material recovery facility (MRF), managed by Ecogreen Energy, has been inaugurated n Badshahpur, Gurugram.
The facility has a capacity to process nearly 150 tonnes of garbage on a daily basis and can accommodate waste from 40 garbage vehicles at one time. It will then be segregated by 50 workers into eight different types of waste. A separate large-scale compost unit has also been set up right beside the MRF facility, to convert organic waste into compost, reports Hindustan Times.
The MCG had earlier done a waste characterisation survey to understand its waste manaagement requirements. The MCG plans to set up 12 MRFs by 2024 to minimize waste volumes reaching the Bandhwari landfill.
