Pirana dump yard site

Chhipakuva, Ahmedabad, Gujarat 380028

History
Spreading over an area of 84 hectares, the Pirana landfill has been the city’s major dumping yard since 1982. Every day, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) collects approximately 4,700 metric tones of solid waste to dispose of at the landfill. Three 75-feet-high massive mounds of garbage, each, characterize the landfill weighing 69 lakh metric tones. The stench from Pirana has been a continuous companion for residents, even the ones who stay two or three kilometers away from the landfill site. Ever since the landfill began operating in the 1980s, all of the city’s waste, unsegregated and often hazardous in nature have been just dumped in the landfills. Nearly 36 years of pirana is infamous for its high mountains.
