Sullia in Dakshina Kannada has started operations at an integrated dry waste management centre designed to process plastic and other dry waste collected in the town, replacing the earlier practice of storing refuse in sacks near public locations.
The centre has been established at the waste dumping yard in Kallcharpe under the Swachh Bharat Mission. Dry waste had been accumulating near the town panchayat office, a vehicle parking area and other locations. With the new facility operational, the panchayat expects these stockpiles to gradually reduce.
