Vijayawada: The Vijayawada Municipal Corporation (VMC) commissioner Swapnil Dinakar Pundkar directed civic body officials to expedite the work of Reduce Reuse Recycle (RRR) Knowledge Centre at Ajith Singh Nagar garbage transfer station and open it for the public view.
The commissioner said the knowledge centre is being developed to educate citizens and students on solid waste management and generating useful items from waste. On Saturday, the civic chief along with officials inspected the ongoing construction works of the RRR Knowledge Centre at the Ajith Singh Nagar garbage transfer station.
Speaking on the occasion, the civic body chief said the primary goal of the RRR Knowledge Centre is to visually demonstrate waste management processes through 3D models to students, children, and the general public.
“These models include flower waste management, windrow composting, vermicomposting, bio-methanation plants, integrated solid waste management plants, mini tree waste processing units, mattress waste processing units, and C&D (construction and demolition) waste recycling units. Creating awareness through video games on waste management stands center of attraction to the students and kids in RRR Knowledge Centre,” the civic chief informed.
