The city will soon get a landfill at Hullahalli on the outskirts, which will be established under the ‘Shubhra Bengaluru’ scheme at a cost of ₹40.5 crore. Though the tender for the project had been submitted to the Urban Development Department in October last year, approval was accorded only recently.
The level of segregation of waste at source remains a dismal 40%, as a result of which much of the mixed waste being generated in the city is being sent to the landfill at Mittaganahalli that is fast nearing its capacity. This, coupled with waste processing plants yet to function at their full capacity, has necessitated the setting up of another landfill, said senior civic officials.
