Organic Waste Converters in Bhayandar West, Mira-Bhayandar.

New and redeveloped buildings in Bhayandar West must turn their food waste into compost, or treat it some other way, inside the plot. On narrow plots the converter has to be placed with care, away from windows and ground-floor shops, with access for staff and a drain for washing down. We choose a unit to suit the actual number of occupied flats, train housekeeping staff to run it, and decide in advance who uses the compost, which keeps the converter in daily use rather than bypassed.

Bhayandar West is the older side of the city, west of the railway, where the first town grew up beside the station and out along the Uttan road. Its lanes hold housing societies a generation or two old, markets, small workshops and shops, and many of those buildings are now being redeveloped. To the north lies the creek, crossed by the railway bridge to Naigaon; westward and southward, salt pans, mangroves and marshy ground stretch towards Gorai and the Uttan hills. Fishing and salt-making were once the main work here, and the low ground still floods in heavy rain at high tide.
