CHENNAI WASTE
TAMIL Nadu can process only about 66% of the waste it generates, and the remaining 34% ends up in landfills every day, show municipal administration data.
The state generates 15,240 TPD (tonnes per day) of waste, as of October, and is able to process only 10,086 TPD, leaving over 5,000 tonnes in landfills daily. Of this, about 8,196 TPD is wet waste and 5,519 TPD is dry waste, the rest being inert and silt, according to the data recently submitted to the principal bench of the National Green Tribunal (NGT). Municipal administration officials said they are working to increase the waste-processing capacity by 9,066 TPD at a cost of ₹1,222 crore under various schemes including the Swachh Bharat Mission.
