Two new garbage transfer stations set up in Kurnool
The Kurnool Municipal Corporation has established two new garbage transfer stations to improve sanitation efficiency. These stations allow smaller collection vehicles to transfer waste to larger compactors, reducing travel time to the dump yard.
Why it matters
Improved waste management infrastructure is critical for urban sanitation and public health in rapidly growing municipal areas.
Two new garbage transfer stations have been set up in Kurnool to ease shifting of garbage collected from the city to the dump yard at Gargeyapuram.
The initiative will help the Kurnool Municipal Corporation (KMC) to effectively manage sanitation and achieve its goal of 100% door-to-door collection of garbage, said KMC Commissioner Challa Obulesu on Thursday. Mr. Obulesu said that the vehicles that collect garbage from households currently need to go all the way to Gargeyapuram dump yard. However, the vehicles can now transfer the garbage to bigger vehicles at the transfer stations that have been set up at the e-auto vehicle charging station and at Joharapuram road.
