KMC looking for alternative dumping site

Kathmandu - Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) is searching for a temporary dumping site after it could not complete the construction of its permanent dumping site in the designated time. KMC had been constructing the permanent dumping site at Bancharedanda but it is not completed. The present dumping site at Sisdol is almost filled prompting KMC to look for a temporary dumping site to manage the waste generated in the Kathmandu Valley.

Although KMC had continued with the construction works on the permanent dumping site for two months despite of the lockdown announced by the government to contain global pandemic of COVID-19, the construction could not be completed. The construction deadline was by the end of the current fiscal year, i.e. mid-July, which is unlikely to be met. The permanent dumping site is being constructed at Bancharedanda on the border between Dhading and Nuwakot districts.
