The Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) has commenced construction of a dedicated construction and demolition (C&D) waste processing plant on a 9-acre site in Hanchya-Sathagalli, near the city's Outer Ring Road, with an estimated cost of INR 11.7 crore. The initiative aims to tackle the nearly 100 tonnes of C&D waste generated daily in Mysuru by recycling debris into usable materials such as crushed bricks and aggregates for road building and other infrastructure works. The project sanctioned by the Mysuru Development Authority will have a capacity to process up to 100 tonnes per day and is expected to be operational within four months, supporting the city's efforts to curb illegal dumping and improve cleanliness as it prepares for assessment under the Swachh Survekshan national cleanliness ranking. MCC has already deployed tippers to collect debris and begun initial dumping at the site.
The Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) has begun groundwork for a new construction and demolition (C&D) waste processing plant on a 9-acre plot at Hanchya-Sathagalli, off the Outer Ring Road, according to civic officials. The facility, sanctioned by the Mysuru Development Authority, is being developed at an estimated cost of INR 11.7 crore with the aim of handling the substantial volume of C&D debris generated across the city.

Civic authorities noted that Mysuru produces around 500 tonnes of solid waste each day, of which nearly 100 tonnes comprise construction and demolition materials. Until now, the absence of a dedicated processing facility has led to widespread illegal dumping of debris near water bodies, vacant land, parks, lake banks, canals, stormwater drains and other open spaces, prompting repeated complaints from residents and environmental groups.
To address this issue proactively, MCC has already deployed 10 tippers to collect construction debris from residential and commercial areas. Initial quantities of waste are currently being transported to the Hanchya-Sathagalli site, as well as to a secondary location at Vidyaranyapuram, pending full commissioning of the plant. Once operational, the facility will be able to process up to 100 tonnes of C&D waste per day.
The recycled output including crushed concrete, bricks and aggregates is intended for reuse in road construction, pavement blocks and other civic infrastructure works, helping reduce the burden on landfills and promote a circular waste economy in the city. MCC officials said this recycling capability will also support broader efforts to enhance sustainable urban management and resource use.
Work on the plant is expected to be completed within the next four months, with authorities planning to commence full processing within that timeframe. The project is a key part of MCC's strategy to improve Mysuru's standing in the Swachh Survekshan national cleanliness survey, with teams from the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs scheduled to assess the city's waste management arrangements in the coming weeks.
Officials emphasised that establishing a dedicated C&D waste processing facility will reduce incidents of illegal dumping and improve environmental outcomes, while also creating a reliable supply of secondary construction materials to support future development initiatives across Mysuru.
