Addressing a public meeting here in Kakinada district as part of the Swarnandhra—Swachandhra (Golden Andhra—Clean Andhra) programme, Naidu said trash can be converted into compost at home, single-use plastic banned, and e-waste sent for recycling.
“We are thinking of turning waste into wealth. There are many ways,” he said, announcing that waste collection vehicles would soon be sent to people’s homes to collect discarded plastic and e-waste for monetisation.
Naidu promised to set up a 15 MW waste-to-energy plant in Peddapuram, which will collect refuse from all municipalities in Kakinada district to generate electricity. The project, estimated at Rs 330 crore, will be completed within 18 months, he said.
