MCG to set up 16 C&D waste collection centres across Gurugram

Three C&D waste processing plants are planned at Babupur, Daultabad, and Begumpur Khatola. The original plan envisaged setting up five such facilities; the number has now been reduced to three due to increased development costs.

It is yet to be decided whether the construction of these C&D waste collection centres will be funded through the corporation's own funds or supported by funds from the Central Pollution Control Board.

The project is estimated to cost ₹4.52 crore: Zone 1 ₹54.54 lakh; Zone 2 ₹70.71 lakh; Zone 3 ₹1.36 crore; Zone 4 ₹1.90 crore.

The city currently has one C&D waste processing facility in Basai, which was earlier designed to process 300 tonnes but has since been expanded to handle up to 1,200 tonnes.

Gurugram's Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) will establish 16 construction and demolition waste collection centres across all four zones of the city. The distribution is: Zone 1 has two centres in Sector 46 and 47; Zone 2 has two in Sector 4 and Sarai STP; Zone 3 has five centres in Sector 21, Sector 22, Sector 38, Sector 40 and Palam Vihar C2 Block; Zone 4 has seven additional sites at Ullahwas Road opposite Lemon Tree hotel, Baliyawas, Kadipur near Rotary Blood Bank, Sector 57 boosting Station, Sector 56 boosting station, Atul Kataria Chowk green belt and Kadarpur. The centres will include waste containment zones, segregation bays for concrete, bricks, soil and mixed debris, retaining walls, steel gates for dust mitigation, and a granular sub-base to support heavy vehicles. Each centre will be monitored through CCTV cameras. The project is estimated to cost ₹4.52 crore with zone allocations: Zone 1 ₹54.54 lakh, Zone 2 ₹70.71 lakh, Zone 3 ₹1.36 crore, Zone 4 ₹1.90 crore. It is not yet decided whether construction will be funded from the corporation's own funds or supported by funds from the Central Pollution Control Board.
