Abstract
Mangaluru, the fourth largest city in Karnataka State is situated in the west coast of Southern India. It is the fast growing city in education, commerce and industry. The city with more than 5.5 lakh population faces the challenges of dealing with its solid waste. The rapid urbanization and changing lifestyles have led to the generation of huge amount of garbage and wastes in the urban areas. The initiative by Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) could successfully collect the solid waste generated within Mangaluru City and process it at centralized processing plant at Pachanady of the City Corporation. The raw waste received at the site is pre-sorted and further sent to processing shed. The pre-sorted waste materials are being used as a raw material for windrow composting and vermin-composting. Some percentage of hotel waste and market waste is being used for bio-methanation plant. The rejects from windrow, vermin-composting and bio-methanation plant is sent to sanitary landfill site.
