BMC to install 14 net traps to stop garbage flow into sea
Hindustan Times Mumbai
|May 03, 2025
In a continued effort to curb garbage from Mumbai's stormwater drains entering the Arabian Sea and Thane Creek, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is set to install 14 new trash booms across key nullahs in the city.
MUMBAI:
These steel-net barriers, which trap floating waste and transfer it to bins or collection vans using a conveyor belt system, are being deployed in two phases. The first tranche, covering nullahs in the eastern suburbs, will be installed within a month—ahead of the monsoon.
The remaining six, intended for nullahs in the western suburbs, are currently in the tendering stage and are expected to be operational by October. Each unit costs approximately ₹1 crore.
