Bio Mining/Bio Remediation of Legacy Waste

Biomining, according to the guidelines of the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), is the scientific process of excavation, treatment, segregation and gainful utilisation of aged municipal solid waste lying in dumpsites typically referred to as legacy waste.Every city big or small has a trenching ground which has been dumped with tonnes and tonnes of municipal solid waste for decades. This piece of land has been always a scar on the city and pain epicentre for city administration. Dumped waste is a source of bad odour, poisonous smoke, polluted underground water and aesthetic nuisance. Every summer all metro cities like Delhi, Mumbai have faced problems of fire hazard on trenching grounds.With the advent of the Swachh Bharat Mission government has taken various initiatives for making the life of the common public healthy and safe. Clearing of the old dump yard is one of the important parts of this mission.
