This huge amount of waste mainly consisted of sand and dirt (33,000 tonnes), scrap Metals (11,500 tonnes), trash (3,400 tonnes) and construction and demolition debris (1,300 tonnes). However, along with these, equal attention was paid to the recycling of day-to-day utilities such as office papers (400 tonnes), wood (100 tonnes), carboards (150 tonnes), and electronics (50 tonnes).
