20. After the process of composting in the Micro Compost
Plants, Odourless manure is produced within an enclosed place and
is packaged and subsequently disposed of for use as manure. In
most cases, the Manure is used in the Park of the Municipality
itself as a method of encouraging the green cover in the park site.
21. These MCC facilities will serve for the proper disposal
of the household wastes collected within the short distance of a
few hundred meters. The primary collection of the solid waste for
transportation to the micro compost plant will be by-means of
non-polluting electric vehicles. The waste collected from the
surrounding area will be brought to the composting facility and it
will be immediately put into the composting process and there will
not be odour or insects from the waste. There will not be any

dumping or accumulation of waste apprehended by the petitioner.
27. There will not be any inconvenience to the residents
who are living even right adjacent to the Micro Compost Plant as
the process itself involves odourless technology and disposal of
packaged of end product. The said Micro Composting Method is
already successfully implemented in Trichy and Vellore
Corporation areas in much more highly populated localities. The
varios apprehensions of the Writ Petition are all misconceived and
without proper understanding of the waste disposal facility.
28. After successful completion of Micro Compost Centre
the dumped waste in the open ground will not be accepted. Only
segregated bio degradable waste will be taken to the micro
compost centre and it will processed with proper scientific
technology and disposed of and there will not be any dumping or
accumulation of waste. Without the said facility the handling of
the solid waste generated by the residents will be impossible.
Further the establishment of the Micro Compost Plant in the Eri
Ulvai is only due to the fact that there is no other land available
within the Municipal limit.”

maintained properly. As per the Municipal Solid Waste

effectively used for gardening and agriculture. It is the
further case of the 1st respondent/Municipality that the

defecation in the area, apart from a small storage room
for the safe storage of the packaged manure meant for
disposal.
