SOME FACTS

However, as there was no suitable arrangement for safe disposal of hazardous Waste, Thane Belapur Association (TBIA) decided to set up a centralized integrated Waste Treatment Facility. For the purpose, TBIA formed the company called “Trans Thane Creek Waste Management Association (TTCWMA)” which operates on “No Loss- No Profit” basis. These Industries representatives elect the Board of directors and chairman for TTCWMA who become the governing members for control and operation of TTCWMA.
