In a bid to ensure that wet waste (leftover food, vegetables, etc) generated from city hotels, hospitals, marriage gardens, schools, colleges and party venues is treated properly to make manure, the IMC has come up with multiple bio plants across the city. IMC Commissioner Manish Singh informs, “During wedding season, wet waste generated from hotels and marriage gardens increases radically, making it a little difficult for us to collect the huge quantity of waste and treat it. Each wedding venue generates a minimum of 100 kg of waste per day during the wedding season. So we have made it compulsory for owners of marriage gardens and other establishments to have a waste treatment plant in place at their respective venues before October 10. Smaller venues may opt for compost pits, while bigger venues have been asked to have waste treatment machines and compost pits.” However, initially, not all establishments took this seriously, but the IMC has made it mandatory, failing which the licenses of these venues would be seized.
IMC to buy excess manure
While most of the manure produced will be used by these venues, the IMC has made provisions for venues that can’t make use of all the manure they produced. The corporation will buy surplus manure from them. Rahul Joshi, general manager of an establishment in Vijay Nagar shares, “We have recently installed a machine to treat wet waste and convert it into manure at our hotel. After treatment, 100 kg of waste converts to 20 kg of
manure. That’s a lot, so the municipal corporation has been supportive in buying the surplus manure.”
All the excess manure purchased by the IMC will be used to develop parks across the city. They might even be roping in an NGO to buy this manure at minimal rate and sell it in the market, informs an IMC official. Of course, many hotels have their own plans. Vivek Kumar Thakur, general manager of a city hotel shares, “A machine to treat the waste has been installed at our venue. But our machine won’t be converting treated waste into manure. For that we have tied up with the students of IIT Indore (alumni) who have come up with a start-up to treat wet waste and make manure. They will take the treated waste from us, make manure and give a certain portion of it to us.”
Previously, the waste would rot in the waste collecting trucks while carrying it from venues to the trenching ground. This initiative will improve the
hygiene of the entire city as waste will be treated immediately. Transportation cost will also be reduced and manpower that was used to collect wet waste can now be put to better use.”
— Manish Singh, IMC Commissioner
This has been done in compliance with National Green Tribune’s orders in 2016 for all wedding venues that generate more than 30 kg of wet waste regularly to have a system in place to treat the waste then and there. The owners and managers of wedding venues were sent a notice in August to have compost pit or waste treatment plants developed at their establishments by October.”
— Sumit Suri, Chairman of Hotel and Restaurant Association, western region
