CONSULTATIONS ARE ALSO BEING DONE TO IDENTIFY LAND TO DIVERT FRESH WASTE, TO SPEED UP LEGACY WASTE REMOVAL
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has invited bids seeking proposals for utilising the land which will be reclaimed after the three overflowing dumpsites in the Capital will be cleared in the next two years, senior MCD officials said.
Further, consultations are also being carried out to identify land where fresh waste can be diverted, in order to speed up the legacy waste removal from the existing sites.
The three landfill sites at southeast Delhi's Okhla, north Delhi's Bhalswa, and east Delhi's Ghazipur cover over 200 acres. MCD officials said the sites are targeted to be cleared by July 2026, December, 2026, and December 2027, respectively.
