Creator Manohar, S Madhu

Description Mangaluru, the fourth largest city in Karnataka State is situated in the west coast of
Southern India. It is the fast growing city in education, commerce and industry. The
city with more than 5.5 lakh population faces the challenges of dealing with its solid
waste. The rapid urbanization and changing lifestyles have led to the generation of
huge amount of garbage and wastes in the urban areas. The initiative by Mangaluru
City Corporation (MCC) could successfully collect the solid waste generated within
Mangaluru City and process it at centralized processing plant at Pachanady of the
City Corporation. The raw waste received at the site is pre-sorted and further sent to
processing shed. The pre-sorted waste materials are being used as a raw material for
windrow composting and vermin-composting. Some percentage of hotel waste and
market waste is being used for bio-methanation plant. The rejects from windrow,
vermin-composting and bio-methanation plant is sent to sanitary landfill site.
