Telangana’s Municipal Administration & Urban Department (MAUD) will set up solid waste processing and treatment facility for 76 ULBs.

MAUD will establish agencies for remediation and reclamation of existing dumpsites through biomining. MSW processing and treatment facilities will be set up for the ULBs, which have been clubbed into five clusters.

The facilities will be operated on a design, build, finance, operate and transfer (DBFOT) basis, reports The New Indian Express.

These ULBs currently generate a total of 1,300 tonnes of municipal waste per day.
