The best out of Deonar’s waste: Garbage piles to make space for treatment plant

August 26, 2019

Garbage mounds at the Deonar dumping ground may soon go higher – up to 50m (height of a 15-storey structure) from the current 25-30 (height of an eight-storey structure) – to make space for a waste-energy plant.

The dumping ground, which holds about 12 million metric tonnes of waste, is 14km from the airport and hence falls in the runway funnel zone – area around the airport which is in the flight take-off and landing path. Around two years ago, the Airport Authority of India (AAI) published a colour-coded map, listing exact height caps for structures in the funnel zone.
