## Waste Management

[edit]

Main article: Sakthan Thampuran Bio-Waste Treatment Plant

The city generates around 160 tonnes of waste every day. But it doesn't have any proper procedure to process it. Earlier, Laloor was used to dump the waste from the city. Because of protest and indefinite strike which was started on 2 October 1988, dumping was stopped there. The last truck carrying waste reached Laloor on 27 June 2012. [6]

On 3 October 2012, foundation was laid for an organic waste converter treatment plant in Sakthan Thampuran Nagar. The waste converter was inaugurated by Urban Affairs Minister Manjalamkuzhi Ali on 28 May 2013. The converter was set up at a cost of Rs 95 lakh on 45 cents of land can process 4 tonnes of waste a day. The city also has nine bio-gas plants at West Fort, Ayyanthole, Aranattukara, Anappara, Olarikara, Mannuthy, Ollur and Cheerachi. Another four at Sakthan Nagar, Panamkuttichira, Vilvattam and Ollukkara has been given approval.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13]

Thrissur Municipal Corporation started the distribution on 19 August 1937, through a declaration from the Maharaja of Cochin.

It has 161 transformers around the city to distribute the electricity.[14][15][16][17][18]
