The Budget, with emphasis on Solid Waste Management, has set aside ₹100 crore to purchase four parcels of land measuring 50 to 100 acres to set up Integrated Waste Processing Centres (IWPC).
With setting up of IWPCs, the BBMP aims to process waste on the outskirts of Bengaluru to keep the foul smell away from the city. The Budget said to make Bengaluru a clean city, Integrated Solid Waste Management Comprehensive Action Plan will focus on collection, transportation and processing to be handled by a single agency.
In the Budget, the BBMP has proposed to allocate ₹1,000 crore for Bengaluru Solid Waste Management Ltd. (BSWML) for collection, segregation of waste, development of landfilling sites and maintenance of solid waste treatment.
