Existing Situation:

In present scenario, most of the areas are un-served and heaps of solid waste accumulate in these areas and only removed when the tolerance level of inhabitants of the area exceeds. In Vehari the disposal of solid waste is done in the form of open dumps along Khanewal Road and open spaces, creating total in-sanitary & unhygienic conditions, degrading the environment of the city, emitting obnoxious smells and providing breeding for mosquitoes and flies.

Description of Sub Project:

The system of solid waste management has been designed to fill up the supply demand gap by the provision of required machinery and equipment along with development of sanitary landfill over 10-acres of land. Upon completion of the project, the present efficiency of 58% of solid waste management will be raised to 92%; the entire city will have cleaner look with improved environment.

The storage and collection of solid wastes is planned to be split up in two stages, i.e., primary and secondary. In the primary stage, storage will be in the individual premises and the wastes collected from there will be transferred to communal storage units on the streets by means of hand carts or manually.

In the secondary stage, communal storage units will be served by motor vehicles and the wastes shifted to the disposal site.

•   Improvement in the environment of the city.

•   The commercial activities and business in the city will be improved as people feel ease in reaching streets.

•   Public mental tension, frustration will be minimized.

•   The city will have a better look.
