Legacy Waste & Dumpsite (Bio-mining) Assessment

Reclaiming old dumpsites through bio-mining and remediation.

What it is

Decades-old dumpsites can be reclaimed by bio-mining — excavating, screening and recovering soil, RDF and recyclables, freeing land and cutting pollution. We assess the site and plan a viable remediation, a Survekshan and GFC priority.

Why it matters
  • Legacy dumpsites are a major Survekshan and GFC penalty
  • Bio-mining reclaims valuable urban land
  • It cuts leachate, fire and methane risks
Reclaiming old dumps

From legacy dump to reclaimed land

Bio-mining excavates a decades-old dumpsite, screens it into soil, RDF and recyclables, and hands back reclaimed land — cutting the leachate, fire and methane it once leaked.
