Where wet waste is supposed to go

Public GCC / NGT record — not Recycleinc plants. Re-verify before you name them in an EBWGR file.

Chetpet Bio-CNG

~150 TPD wet. GCC told NGT closed MCC waste will be directed here.

Madhavaram Bio-CNG

~160 TPD. Same NGT filing family.

Kodungaiyur / Perungudi

Integrated works and dumpsite complex — live public controversy, not a brochure line.
