How SSREC Helps Keep Hyderabad’s Lakes Safe From Dumped Debris

Protecting nature, one truckload of waste at a time.

Introduction

Hyderabad is home to some of the most iconic lakes in India — Hussain Sagar, Durgam Cheruvu, Neknampur, Saroornagar Lake, and Gandipet.
But these lakes face a silent threat every day:

Construction & Demolition (C&D) waste being dumped illegally into lake beds, nalas, and low-lying areas.

This debris blocks water flow, pollutes lakes, and destroys natural ecosystems.
That’s where SSREC Enviro steps in — as Hyderabad’s GHMC-authorized C&D recycler, working to ensure that the city’s lakes stay clean, healthy, and alive.

🌊 The Real Problem: Illegal Dumping

Many contractors look for quick disposal shortcuts such as:

• Dumping debris near lakes

• Dumping into open plots that drain into lakes

• Leaving waste near stormwater drains

• Piling waste at roadside points close to water bodies

This causes:

• Water contamination

• Flooding during rains

• Damage to aquatic life

• Shrinking lake boundaries

• Long-term ecological imbalance

Most lake pollution in Hyderabad is not household waste — it’s construction waste.

🚛 How SSREC Breaks This Cycle

As an authorized GHMC C&D Waste Management partner, SSREC ensures:

• Waste is collected legally

• Waste is transported through registered vehicles

• Waste is tracked through GPS

• Waste reaches certified recycling plants

• Zero leakage into lakes, nalas, or open areas

Every load we handle is secured from pickup to processing.

🔍 1️⃣ Scientific Segregation – No Waste Enters Water Bodies

Waste is segregated at the source and at SSREC plants:

• Concrete

• Bricks

• Metal

• Plastics

• Soil

• Wood

This prevents mixed waste from entering stormwater systems that lead to lakes.

🏭 2️⃣ Recycling Plants that Turn Waste Into Resources

At SSREC’s two major processing facilities:

🔵 Shamshabad – Wet Washing Plant

• Silt removal

• Sand washing

• Clean recycled sand production

🟠 Thumkunta – Dry Recycling Plant

• Crushing

• Screening

• Air separation

• Grading recycled aggregates

Every material that could have polluted a lake is transformed into:

• Recycled sand

• Aggregates

• Sub-base for roads

• CSEB block inputs

• Earth-based construction materials

Waste becomes resource, not pollution.

🚫 3️⃣ Preventing Dumping Near Lakes

SSREC collaborates with:

• GHMC

• Local authorities

• Community groups

We help identify hotspots around:

• Hussain Sagar

• Durgam Cheruvu

• Kukatpally nala

• Musi River belt

• Caravan Lake

• Patel Cheruvu

Quick waste pickup prevents dumping, flooding, and contamination.

🌱 4️⃣ Supporting Hyderabad’s Eco-Restoration Projects

Recycled materials from SSREC support eco-friendly projects such as:

• Lake bund strengthening

• Pathways around lakes

• Urban beautification

• Sustainable public spaces

Instead of polluting lakes, C&D waste becomes the base material for improving them.

🛡 5️⃣ Protecting Lakes Through Awareness

SSREC continuously educates:

• Builders

• Contractors

• Residents

• Site engineers

• Labour teams

on why dumping near lakes is harmful and illegal.

Awareness reduces pollution before it starts.

Conclusion

Hyderabad’s lakes are not just water bodies —
They are heritage, identity, and essential lifelines of the city.

By ensuring scientific waste handling and recycling, SSREC Enviro plays a crucial role in keeping these lakes safe from the silent killer: construction debris.

We promise:
Save Rivers. Save Lakes. Save Mountains. Build Sustainably.
