Desk Report, September 04, 2024: In a significant step towards enhancing waste management and promoting environmental sustainability, Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma officially inaugurated the Material Recovery Facility (MRF) and Waste to Compost Plant in North Lakhimpur city. This state-of-the-art facility, constructed under the North Lakhimpur Municipal Corporation, represents a major leap forward in the city’s efforts to become clean and garbage-free.
The plant, built at a substantial cost of ₹5.75 crore, is designed to facilitate the scientific disposal of waste, ensuring that the process is both efficient and environmentally friendly. The MRF will play a crucial role in segregating recyclable materials, while the compost plant will convert organic waste into nutrient-rich compost, thereby reducing the burden on landfills and contributing to the circular economy.

As the city embarks on this new chapter in its waste management strategy, the emphasis remains on community participation and adherence to waste segregation practices at the source. The successful operation of the plant will depend not only on the technology employed but also on the cooperation of the residents in ensuring proper waste disposal habits.
The North Lakhimpur Municipal Corporation aims to continue its efforts to promote cleanliness and environmental awareness, with the ultimate goal of creating a healthier, more sustainable urban environment for all its residents.
