Bhubaneswar: The Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) inaugurated eight more Micro Composting Centres (MCCs) at different wards in Odisha’s capital city on Thursday.

The new MCCs are located at Pokhariput Petrol Pump for Ward – 46, 52, 62 & 63 and at Mahishakhal, Badagada for Ward – 56, 57, Badagada Crematorium for Ward – 44 & 58, near Niladri Vihar PHC for Ward – 8 & 13, Patia, Kanana Vihar for Ward – 3 and at Bharatpur for Ward – 22 & 24. With this, the total number of MCCs functional in the city has reached 16.

Each MCC has the processing capacity of up to five tonnes per day. These facilities convert wet or bio-degradable waste into compost and greatly help in addressing waste management issues in the capital city.

The civic body has also flagged off a fleet of 24 garbage collection vehicles which will collect the segregated waste from households and carry it to MCCs.

These vehicles have been deployed to reduce the problem of mixed garbage collected at the garbage plant. The Commissioner appealed all residents of Bhubaneswar to put segregated waste in these vehicles so that the garbage can be processed easily at MCCs.
