Chakia produces most waste, Jayantipur the least

Prayagraj generates 540 tonnes of waste every day. However, only 384.57 tonnes is collected, leaving about 160 tonnes of waste unattended. The city is working to increase the efficiency of waste collection. The waste produced in Prayagraj is managed by a processing plant in Baswar. This facility has been operational since December 2021. Data shows that door-to-door collection only covers 61% of households, about 1.21 lakh homes. Additional municipal commissioner Deependra Yadav noted that new areas like Phaphamau, Naini, and Jhunsi are being added to the collection service. They aim to reach as many homes as possible in these neighborhoods. Chakia ward generates the most waste, with 8.44 tonnes daily. Nai Basti is close behind with 8.4 tonnes. Other high waste-producing areas include Mundera, Minhajpur, and Kareli, ranking in the top five. The lowest waste generation is found in Jayantipur, producing only 2.6 tonnes per day.
