New Delhi. South Delhi Municipal Corporation (South MCD) is doing a big job in solving garbage problem these days. During the last 6 months, by executing 7 lakh kg of wet garbage in only 2 wards in SDMC, he has done a unique job of making 1 lakh kg of organic compost manure from it. By making this fertilizer, SDMC has got support in disposing of garbage. At the same time, he has also saved an amount of about Rs 7,00,000 to be spent in garbage loading. According to the market, the price of this fertilizer has been estimated at around ₹ 25,00,000.
Let us tell you that SDMC Ward no. 5 Tagore Garden and Ward No 9 had set up a 5 TDP capacity aerobic compost plant located in Subhash Nagar. Both these plants have cost ₹ 1,00,000 so far, while MCD has prepared fertilizer of about Rs 25,00,000 from these plants, in 6 months, 7,00,000 kg of wet waste has also been disposed of, it is settled in the same area instead of going to the garbage lendfil site.
This compost manure was distributed to the Horticulture Department, schools and RWA of the Southern Corporation.
Today, on Saturday, 10,000 kg of organic fertilizer was given to the Department of Tagore Garden and Subhash Nagar from Compost Plant. Till now it has been used in 156 parks and will be used in more parks. Deputy Commissioner Rahul Singh and Nodal Officer of Swachh Bharat Mission Rajiv Jain and other senior officials of the corporation were present on the occasion.
On this occasion, Rajiv Jain, the nodal officer of Swachh Bharat Mission, said that it is the lowest cost of Delhi’s Compost Plant. Here, a little soil and old manure is added to the waste garbage to make organic manure and this fertilizer is prepared in different modules such as drum composters, forged boxes of different sizes.
Nodal officer Jain said that it takes only three weeks to make fertilizer. At present, separate separation of wet and dry garbage is being done in all 29 wards of the western region.
Jain said that if the price of organic fertilizer is estimated at the rate of Rs 25 per kg, then its total price is 25 lakh rupees while the cost of construction of the entire compost plant is only 1 lakh rupees. Which shows that it is an affordable option for the execution of organic waste.
Deputy Commissioner Rahul Singh appreciated the project. Such plants will be able to reduce the burden of landfill sites. In the last six months, we have reduced 7,00,000 kg of garbage from the landfill site. We have saved Rs 7 lakh in the item of garbage transportation from homes to landfill sites.
This effort is environmentally friendly and is also proving helpful in reducing garbage. He said that organic manure will also be distributed to citizens for free so that they can be motivated to separate the waste and wet garbage separately.
