Residents of Erode are urging the Erode Corporation to address the significant accumulation of dry waste at the Vendipalayam compost yard, where 60 to 70 tonnes are added daily, contributing to over 1.75 lakh tonnes since 2021. Concerns have been raised about potential fire hazards during the summer months, prompting city officials to propose a material recovery facility or biogas plant to manage the waste effectively.
