The Green Environment Services Co.-Op. (GESCSL) services

The establishment of Common Secured Landfill Facility became necessary to facilitate disposal of solid waste being generated by industrial units in an environmentally safe manner. This was also necessary to fulfill the requirement of the provisions of Hazardous Waste (Management and Handling) Rules 1989 framed under Environment (Protection) Act 1986. Keeping these requirements in mind the Green Environment Services Co-operative Society Limited (GESCSL) initially formed a separate body named Gujarat Industrial Waste Management Company Limited (GIWMCL) in 1996 to look after this responsibility. Later in 1998 this body was merged with GESCSL for better and smooth functioning in respect of administration of all types of common infrastructure for the protection of environmental quality in this area.
