Bhalswa landfill

Bhalswa landfill is an overfilled landfill waste dumping site located in Delhi, India; it is over 60 m high. The site opened in 1994 and was declared overfilled in 2006, but remains in use, receiving more than 2,300 tons dumped daily in 2021. In 2022, the heap measured over 62 meters (203 feet).

Impact
The site is a major source of environmental pollution, fire hazards, and public health and safety issues. A 2022 study of groundwater surrounding the nearby Bhalswa Lake found none of the water was fit for consumption. Prime Minister Modi has included removal of landfills in India's Clean India Mission.
