KATHMANDU: The Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) has found out a new landfill site to dispose of waste generated in Kathmandu Valley during the rainy season.
Fifteen ropanis of land at ‘village one’ and ‘village two’ at Kakani Rural Municipality-2 will be used to dump garbage generated during the rainy season when more amount of waste is generated in general, said Hari Kumar Shrestha, Chief of the Environment Management Department of the KMC.
A substitute place was sought to dispose of the waste as the Sisdole dumping ground, where garbage generated from Kathmandu Valley, has dumped for the past 13 years has now no place to receive more, he said.
The valley produces around 1,000 metric tonnes of garbage on a daily basis. The figure reaches around 1,200 metric tonnes during the rainy season.
