Modern solid waste transfer station in Kochadai getting ready at ₹9.75 crore
Madurai Corporation is nearing completion of a ₹9.75 crore solid waste transfer station in Kochadai. The facility will use static compactors to compress waste from eight city locations, significantly reducing transport trips to the Vellaikal dump yard.
Why it matters
This infrastructure project improves urban sanitation efficiency and reduces the carbon footprint associated with municipal waste management.
There is good news for the residents in the city from Madurai Corporation.
Soon, the garbage collected from as many as eight locations in the southern side of the city namely (Kochadai, Mahaboobpalayam, Fatima Nagar, Ellis Nagar, Ponmeni, Veeratipathu, Jaya Nagar and Periyar bus stand) would be compressed at a modern facility coming up in Kochadai and sent to Vellaikal dump yard in a single truck.
This major step not only saves fuel, but also helps keep the eco-system free from getting polluted.
Corporation Commissioner Gaurav Kumar on Saturday visited the construction work at the Kochadai transfer station accompanied by senior officials, including Assistant Commissioner, Tamilarasan, Assistant Executive Engineer Mayilerinathan, Health Inspectors Saravanakumar and Ranjani.
