Delhi Uses Biomining to Clear Bhalswa Landfill and Manage Waste Streams
Delhi's Municipal Corporation is actively dismantling the 70-acre Bhalswa landfill, a longstanding waste accumulation site. Using biomining, the process excavates and sorts decades-old waste into inert material, construction debris, and refuse-derived fuel (RDF). Inert waste is repurposed to fill low-lying areas in Delhi, while RDF is sent to local industries for fuel use. The initiative aims to clear the landfill by the end of 2026, addressing the city's waste management challenges through material recovery and reuse.
