The Alappuzha municipality will receive a ₹30-crore aid from the World Bank and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) for upgrading its solid waste management system. The project will be implemented in three phases.
In the initial phase, existing waste management facilities will be revamped utilising ₹2.2 crore. As part of it, the resource recovery centre at Aliserry will be upgraded at a cost of ₹75 lakh. Two material collection facilities will come up at Punnamada and in the Sea View ward. Besides, 10 aerobic units will be installed, five each at community and institution levels.
Officials said that modern waste management techniques and facilities including the construction of decentralised plants would be undertaken in the second and third phases.
