Lucknow has emerged as Uttar Pradesh’s first city to achieve 100% scientific processing of municipal solid waste, earning the status of a “zero fresh waste dump” city.
With a population of nearly 40 lakh and around 7.5 lakh establishments, the city generates about 2,000 metric tonnes of waste daily. To manage this, three waste processing plants—each with a capacity of 700 MT per day—have been set up by LMC and Bhumi Green Energy.
Waste is segregated into 55% organic and 45% inorganic components, ensuring sustainable and scientific disposal.
