Ghazipur garbage dump

Ghazipur is a large garbage and waste management site outside the city of Delhi, in Ghaziabad district.

Garbage being collected on a rubbish dump hill, outside Delhi city, India. Delhi, like most other Indian and Asian cities, has a major garbage disposal problem and while the city government has set aside large tracts of land for waste disposal, these have rapidly been consumed and fresh spaces or methodologies are now required to be put to use.

Pariah Kites (Milvus migrans govinda) circle overhead by the thousands, as they look out for morsels of food or eatable garbage.

There have been projects initiated in India to generate methane from waste as well, to make garbage dumps performing assets and to reduce the carbon footprint from waste disposal.

Trucks enter and exit from the site, with garbage to add to the pre-existing mountain of waste! India clearly needs better and more efficient solutions to its waste problems...
