Chennai corporation to sell organic manure to neighbouring districts

With its stock of organic compost piling up in lakhs of kilograms, the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) has planned to give the compost derived from solid waste in the city for agricultural purposes to the neighbouring districts. Source segregation is promoted to reduce the waste transported to the two landfills in Kodungaiyur and Perungudi, which would increase the lifetime of the dump yards. GCC handles over 500 tons of bio-degradable waste daily.
