The Minister pointed out the scale of the city’s waste problem and the opportunity it presents. “In Bengaluru, at least 2,500 to 3,000 tonnes of wet waste is generated every day. Most of it is dumped in yards along with dry waste, which leads to several problems -- foul smell, mosquito breeding, and contamination of water sources. If we properly utilise wet waste like this, about half of the city’s waste can be managed efficiently,” he said.
