Summary:
more-inGVMC’s fresh efforts to increase the area of biomining at its Kapuluppada dump yard has turned out to be somewhat complex owing to non-availability of standard parameters. The present exercise is taken up under the guidance of the Ministry of Urban Development (MOUD) of the Union Government. Unmindful of the dangers they are exposing themselves to, children pick up plastic bags from the highly-polluted dumping yard at Kapuluppada in Visakhapatnam. The present exercise involves 20 acres of the garbage-filled yard. In biomining, compost is salvaged from the accumulated dump, processed and if necessary, natural additives are added before making it ready for use as compost..
