Bengaluru to establish secondary waste transfer stations in every Assembly constituency

Bengaluru plans to set up secondary waste transfer stations in every Assembly constituency to improve waste management. A new facility opened in Chamarajpet on November 28, with another expected in HBR Layout by January 2025. These stations will handle 150-200 tonnes of waste daily, reducing congestion from waste collection vehicles on the streets. The initiative is supported by a government budget of around ₹40 crore. The Bengaluru Solid Waste Management Company is also introducing automated waste segregation machines and RFID tracking for better efficiency. Residents have expressed concerns about existing waste management issues, highlighting the need for improved facilities.
