A waste dumpsite project in Thayetpinchaung village in the Yangon region is being implemented with the technology of Fukuoka town, Japan.
Urban Pollution Control & Cleansing Department, Yangon City Development Committee (YCDC) is implementing the dumpsite project in Thayetpinchaung village, Dagon Myothit (Seikkan) township with an aim to have many benefits for the environment, including energy generation from waste and reduction of waste from Yangon region.
Urban Pollution Control & Cleansing Department is developing the dumpsite project in Thayetpinchaung with the technology of Fukuoka town, Japan. The Fukuoka method is a semi-aerobic landfill design that speeds up the decomposition of waste materials, improves the quality of water draining from the site and reduces methane gas, according to the director from Urban Pollution Control & Cleansing Department, YCDC.
As part of the project, the department is currently upgrading the road, building a 500-foot site for landfills, including drainage and earthworks, as well as office space and residential areas for staff.
In the future, the department is planning to work together with foreign companies to generate electricity from waste, CNG from waste, compost from waste and carbon dioxide from waste. The Thayetpinchaung dump will be Yangon’s third landfill at the beginning of 2023. The Thayetpinchaung dump covers about 187.3 acres, according to the YCDC.
The Yangon’s first and second landfills are Htein Pin dump in Hlinethaya township and Daweigyaung dump in Dagon Myothit (North) township. — Ko Naing (Bago)/GNLM
