The common
practice of waste disposal has been dumping them in open area
without treatment. This poses threat to both health and environment
by contaminating land, water and air. The potential of waste to
generate resource also goes untapped. Moreover, the availability of
land becoming scarcer year by year. Therefore, it is urgently
required to stop unscientific dumping of waste and process it to
recover the useful material for use and only rejects are disposed
scientifically in an environment friendly manner. The resource
recovery component of CJP promotes appropriate segregation,
composting and recycling options to promote recovery of useful
material from waste.

VERMI COMPOSTING PLANT AT CHUTTU, KANKE
The 1 st vermi composting plant with the capacity of 80 ton bi
monthly production has been established at Chuttu Kanke. For this 16
sheds of 400 sq. feet each is being constructed to carry on the
vermi composting process.
This plant will require 3 ton of municipal solid waste on daily
basis to operate at its full capacity. The RMC has agreed to
transport waste to the processing site.
The 1 st lot of manure of 2 ton 650 kg has been produced. The cost
of manure will range between Rs.1.50 to Rs.4.50 per kg.
To raise the greenery at the site plantation is
being undertaken. 300 saplings have already been planted in and
around the site.
ROAD CONSTRUCTION USING
POLYBAGS
With co-ordination of Thyagraj University CJP has identified the
technology of using waste polythene in road construction.
Process of Road construction: The waste polythene
is first shredded in shredding machine. The concrete is heated. When
it reaches the temperature of 130 140 C, the shredded plastic is
mixed with it and it is further heated till it reaches the
temperature of 150 160 C. Then the bitumen is also heated to the
temperature of 150 160 C and mixed with the heated concrete. The
mixture is further heated till it reaches the temperature of
150-160. Thus the polymer bitumen mixture is ready for road
construction.
The polymer bitumen mixture increases the
longevity of road by protecting it from potholes during rainy season
