Mallikarjun B E, environmental engineer (SWM wing) said that the waste generated in the city is being dumped at yards located on Karwar Road in Hubballi (17 acres) and at Hosayallpur in Dharwad (16 acres). As the garbage is being discarded at these yards for the last 50 years, mountains of garbage have been formed there, he said.
