Actually, no. The MCC is looking to eliminate landfills by planning to process the garbage at the source. This whole point is to stop the city from being smelly and keep the residents calm.

There is a larger plan that could be included. Local Civic officials plan to include 41 more villages by creating Greater Mysuru. The authorities are considering using two opencast mine pits on the outskirts as landfills if the two plants are not enough.

You know, currently, civic workers cover about 70% houses in the city. The MCC plans to cover the entire city, taking up the total volume of waste to 500 tonnes a day which will be grreat to keep the city clean.

The two new plants can process over about 400 tonnes a day. The MCC has secured land for the Rs 23.3 crore project. Though Rs 5 crore was budgeted in 2014-15, the project failed to take off. So expect this to go off the ground soon as the pressure is mounting.

Waste production has almost doubled in a little over a decade now, with the city spewing out about 402 tonnes of garbage in the year 2014, up from just 230 tonnes back in 2002. A change of 172 tonnes more in 12 years.

The city's only solid waste management plant right now is the Sewage Farm in Vidyaranyapuram which can process only half the waste generated in the city so a bigger system needs to be built up on.

The MCC on Monday ordered all apartment builders, malls and marriage halls to build plants to treat solid waste. By doing this the MCC will want the locals to contribute towards keeping the city away from a situation that happened in Bangalore which went till the Chief minister.

The t two solid waste management plants will be at Kesare and Rayanakere. The Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) also plans to set up a Rs 6.5-crore dry waste plant and make sure the generated wastes are taken care of.
