Ahmedabad: The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) is deliberating on an idea to sell non-vegetarian waste it collects from slaughter houses and restaurants to companies for use in making pet food. Thursday’s meeting of AMC’s standing committee discussed disposal methods of various types of waste generated in the city. It was proposed that non-veg waste could become material for making pet food.
Chairman Devang Dani stated, “Currently, AMC processes and disposes of 1,000 metric tonnes of waste. There are plans to produce CNG from the green waste generated with a plant of 70-80 metric tonnes capacity being set up. Some companies make biscuits for dogs from non-veg waste. We have suggested that non-veg waste generated in the city could be disposed of this way, if feasible.”
Replying to a question, Dani said, “AMC can collect non-veg waste and give it to manufacturers. This is a concept under consideration.”
Talking about the city’s homeless, Dani said, “They are seen sleeping on the streets, exposed to the chill. Orders have been given to bring them to night shelters.
“Additionally, 10 new tenders are being issued to fix waterlogging at various locations. A Rs10cr tender has been issued for the spot near Madhumalati Awas in Kathwada.” He said 16 new party plots and ten new community halls are being built.”
