Karadiana will receive garbage till 28th<\/sup> April .Then What ?<\/p>\n

Fairway Inc has got a contract to recycle 500 tons from Dehiwela ,Mountlavinia ,Moratuwa etc in Kardiyana .<\/p>\n

It will take at least 2 year to commission the project\u00a0 ,They will ( hopefully get ) almost 36 Rs per Unit from CEB and\u00a0 1500 Rs Per ton from Municipal Councils as tipping fee<\/p>\n

Korean Company has got 10 acres from Muthurajawela near Dutch Canal ( not Hamilton Canal) for Gampaha Garbage \u00a0for 500 tons .When the stuff comes from\u00a0 Gampaha which include Jaela,Kandana ,Gampaha etc in 2 years times after commissioning .<\/p>\n

Payment of tipping fee is not sure but they may get 36 Rs per unit from CEB<\/p>\n

500 tons from Colombo is earmarked for Western Power now owned by Harry ( Aitken Spence) They have earlier agreement to get only 26 RS per unit . They are not getting tipping fee from CMC so far<\/p>\n

They are asking the same price like Fairway and Koreans .<\/p>\n

Will they get it ?<\/p>\n

Megapolis is refusing to pay .That means Western Power project which was earlier earmarked to be in Meethotamulle ,now shifted to Muthurajawela may not proceed.<\/p>\n

Can any one guess how Westren Power can persuade state to pay the revised rates ?<\/p>\n

Today onwards ,after Bopitiya Fiasco where both Buddhist and Catholic Clergy threatened to protest by lying along the road way thus preventing police to use tear \u00a0gas and water cannons ,government has decided to stop dumping garbage in Bopititya<\/p>\n

MP in Dompe convinced government not to dump any in his area and Ja ela project will not go though.<\/p>\n

Today government has started dumping garbage in Muthurajawela land\u00a0 owned by SLLRDC ,This land of 200 acres will \u00a0now be \u00a0filled with raw garbage for next 5 years<\/p>\n

I suggested this in my earlier article and government did not listen<\/p>\n

We will not see any recycling \u00a0plant operating within next 5 years .<\/p>\n

I am proposing now following option .<\/p>\n

Bring the two 5000 ton barges now\u00a0 lying in Trinco Harbour owned by CEB to Colombo-along Kelani River ,collect garbage in one barge and \u00a0carry out baling in the other barge and transport by sea( instead of by Train ) to Arruwakkaru in Puttalam which was proposed by Gota !<\/p>\n
