LWMC Starts Door-to-Door Waste Collection Project

LAHORE: On Monday, the Lahore Waste Management Company (LWMC) began a trial program for door-to-door waste pickup in various areas of the city.

The company’s primary duty was to collect trash from customers’ doors, but unfortunately, from its founding, it hasn’t offered this service to the people who were paying the waste collectors out of their own money.

According to a survey, every house in the city pays the garbage collectors between Rs. 300 and Rs. 500 per month on average, and the government also subsidised a sizable portion of the LWMC’s costs.

While speaking to the media, the residents questioned why the corporation had not launched the door-to-door project, not even a pilot one, in any middle-class or low-income neighborhood.

They also characterized the project as blatant discrimination against the majority of the locals.

A pilot project for the door-to-door trash collection was formally inaugurated in GOR-1 and GOR-6 on Monday, according to a press release from the LWMC.

Besides, CEO Ali Anan Qamar also visited GOR-1 and GOR-6 to see how the social mobilizer teams and waste collection squads were doing.

As part of the pilot initiative, teams from the LWMC Community Mobilization Wing went door to door to deliver information on garbage segregation while 3 rickshaw tippers, 2 small dumpers, and more than 20 workers collected waste from residents of GOR-1 and GOR-6.
