HONIARA City Council now has a shredding plant which turns organic waste to compost.
Sumitomo SMM Ltd handed the machine over to the council on Wednesday.
The shredder will be planted at the Ranadi landfill site, where it will be fed organic waste brought from the town’s garbage and turn them into useful compost.
The equipment is worth SBD$382,000 and is hailed as a milestone for the HCC.
Sumitomo’s representative Mr Ken Magusa said they believe the support given will benefit HCC through processing rubbish from the central market which will help in reducing rubbish at the dumpsite.
He said the machine can compost rubbish collected from the central market which is an advantage for local farmers around Honiara.
Mr Magusa assured the City Council office that they will continue working closely with them to ensure the equipment performs as intended.
“Sumitomo Solomon Ltd will continue to work with HCC to ensure equipment performing as intended or company may provide other assistance if sees fitting,” Mr Magusa said.
The Acting City Clerk Mr Fred Warereau said Sumitomo’s assistance will greatly support HCC in its daily activities in managing green waste from the central market.
He said the new equipment will assist to educate market venders and public on segregation of rubbish at the central market.
The cost of each item funded by Sumitomo are; shredding machine SBD$260,000, Transformer SBD$20,000, freighting cost from Japan SBD$35,000 and crushing building SBD$67,000.
