By Wang Xiaodong | China Daily | Updated: 2014-12-27 08:09

Construction of a garbage incineration plant in Beijing that was suspended five years ago due to opposition by nearby residents with environmental worries will resume next year, with the Beijing municipal government promising strict pollution control measures.

The incineration plant, in north Beijing's Changping district, is designed to handle 3,000 metric tons of domestic trash daily, according to an environmental evaluation report released on the website of the Changping district government.

The whole garbage-processing project will occupy 136 hectares, cost more than 3.4 billion yuan ($547 million) and is expected to be completed for trial operation in 32 months, according to the report, which was posted online for public comment between Dec 15 and Friday.
