India’s oldest, largest landfill: How BMC plans to clear the mountain of garbage at Mumbai’s Deonar

In its first step towards clearing the mountain of garbage from India’s oldest and largest landfill in Mumbai’s Deonar, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will carry out a characterisation study of the legacy waste in the dumping ground. It is also the first step towards bio-mining, which is a scientific model certified by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), taken up to segregate and naturally treat the accumulated waste components, allowing it to degrade naturally.
