Anantapur has set a firm deadline to clear one lakh tonnes of processed garbage from its dump yard by December 2025. The entire legacy waste at the bio-mining site is to be removed by January 2026. Over the years, garbage collected from the Anantapur municipal limits was dumped at a 10-acre yard. Plans are in place to clear this waste and transform the area into a green park. Bio-mining works began in July 2025. Anantapur Urban MLA Daggubati Venkateswara Prasad is strongly supporting this clean-up. Recently, Swacch Andhra Corporation chairman Kommareddy Pattabhi Ram and officials visited the site to review progress. Mr. Pattabhi Ram said, "We are taking up disposing of legacy waste which has accumulated over the years by spending crores of rupees." The bio-mining project is split into two phases: the first phase will clear 3.30 lakh tonnes, the second phase 1.70 lakh tonnes of garbage. He gave clear instructions to the private company handling the bio-mining: "Complete the disposal of the already processed one lakh tonnes of legacy waste by December-end this year. The processing of the remaining legacy waste should be completed by Sankranthi next year, and the dump yard should be cleared of the entire legacy waste by the end of January 2026." To support the effort, more machinery will soon be provided to the company. "The dump yard will be developed as a green space and a park. To ensure that garbage does not get accumulated again in the city limits, a waste processing plant will be set up permanently in the town," he added. A two-acre land plot is required for the plant, and MLA Venkateswara Prasad has promised to arrange it. Mr. Pattabhi Ram also warned, "The firm presently taking up the bio-mining activity will be changed and works handed over to another one, if it does not meet the deadline." This ambitious plan is underway to give Anantapur a cleaner, greener future.
