GURUGRAM: Mayor Madhu Azad and MLA Sudhir Singla inaugurated a material recovery facility (MRF) at Beriwala Bagh on Thursday. The MRF can process 150 tonnes of waste every day. Ecogreen, the civic body's solid waste management concessionaire, is also working on creating more MRFs in the city to encourage decentralised waste processing and reduce the burden on the landfill site in Bandhwari. “With the addition of a new MRF along with the existing one at Badshahpur, the city’s municipal waste management will be streamlined,” said Azad.
The new MRF has 18 pits spread over 1,800sq feet area to compost the wet waste. Each pit has a depth of 3.5feet. The facility will also cater to the bulk waste generators (BWGs) of zone 1, which don’t have composting plants.
