The decisions were taken a day after a portion of Ghazipur's mountainous landfill collapsed killing two persons and injuring five others.
"The city's garbage, which was being sent to Ghazipur site would now be taken to a temporary site in Ranikhera near the Delhi-Haryana border," a senior civic body official said.
Earlier a decision was taken to divert the garbage to Bhalswa landfill site (about 50-metre high), but as it is already used way beyond its saturation, a new site was identified, he said.
Meanwhile, the traffic on the street neighbouring the giant landfill at Ghazipur has been temporarily stopped, said East Delhi Mayor Neema Bhagat.
A car, a scooter and two motorcycles were swept into a canal by the momentum of the hurtling garbage and slush. While Raj Kumari (32) and Abhishek (22) died, five persons were injured in the incident.
