The government has earmarked around ₹5.1 crore to carry out biomining at the dumping yard of the Kothamangalam municipality spread over 2.6 acres at Kumbalathumuri.
It is among the 20 sites identified by the Local Self-Government department under the World Bank-funded Kerala Solid Waste Management Project (KSWMP). The government had awarded the contract for biomining and retrieval of legacy dumping sites worth ₹95.2 crore to a Nagpur-based company recently.
