The Coimbatore Corporation’s proposal to end the indiscriminate dumping of construction and demolition waste in water bodies and along roads by way of a waste handling plant will get soon State Government sanction.
As and when the proposal gets sanctioned and the waste management plant operational, it is expected to take away 100 tonnes a day off the water bodies and roads.
According to sources, the government will this week pass an order asking the corporation to go ahead and implement the project.
The corporation will then float tenders for the Rs. 9 crore project. Officials in the civic body said that the plant would have the capacity to process 100 tonnes waste a day.
At present, the city generated around 90 tonnes debris.
The Corporation would award the contract for operating the plant to the highest bidder who would also be in charge of the transportation.
The civic body had identified 20-25 sites across the city from where the contractor would pick up the waste. Members of the public or builders could dump the waste in those sites.
To transport the waste the Corporation would pay the contractor, just as it was doing for solid waste management, the officials said.
The contractor would process the waste and produce hallow blocks, paver blocks or other materials that could be used in construction. The contractor would be in-charge of marketing the products, they added.
