Summary:
Trichy: As part of efforts to ensure that the railway junction in Trichy remains neat and clean and to prevent plastic bottles piling up on the platform, the Trichy railway division has installed an automatic bottle crushing machine at the current ticket booking centre. The bottles disintegrate into fine pieces of plastic in the machine, officials said.All plastic and pet bottles up to 2 litres could be processed in the machine, they added. The pet bottle shredder machine put up on platform number 1 was donated by Southern Railway Women’s Welfare Organization Trichy Division (SRWWO). R K Kulshrestha also visited the rail museum located beside the railway junction. Though it has a capacity to shred 30 to 40 bottles a minute, commuters will have to feed one bottle at a time..
