Waste transfer stn for better sanitation
Lucknow: The
Lucknow Municipal Corporation
, in partnership with the
Lucknow Swachhata Abhiyan
(LSA), has set up a
Fixed Compactor Transfer Station
(FCTS) at Bhaisora. The new facility is expected to reduce the use of open dumpers and shift to a more contained method of waste collection and transport.
The FCTS will serve as a central point where garbage will be compacted and transferred into closed capsule vehicles to be carried to disposal or processing sites without leaving any material exposed. The station can handle up to 29 metric tonne of waste in a single trip, more than twice the capacity of the older open truck system.
Head of municipal solid waste and waste-to-energy operations at LSA, Manoj Soni said, "This facility represents a change in how we manage waste.
The focus is not just on improving logistics, but also on reducing the health impact and environmental footprint of city waste." The facility is expected to be fully operational by June 5, aligning with World Environment Day.
According to additional municipal commissioner Arvind Rao, the shift to sealed compactors will not only improve waste transport but also make city roads safer by preventing leaks and related accidents. "The introduction of capsule-type compactors is a step towards better
waste management
and safer city roads.
By preventing spillage and odour, we aim to improve everyday conditions for both residents and sanitation workers. This facility supports our broader commitment to strengthening urban infrastructure in Lucknow," he added.
