The state government on Tuesday told the Bombay High Court that only 12 municipal corporations in the state have proper landfill sites for solid waste management (SWM).
On the other hand, 14 civic corporations, including Mumbai, do not have secured landfill sites. The five municipal corporations that have landfill sites approved by the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) are Navi Mumbai, Vasai-Virar, Pune, Nashik and Nagpur.
