Projects

The Urban Unit solid waste management sector is focused on modernizing the municipal solid waste management systems through upgradation of technology, capacity building, institutional restructuring and financially sustainable solutions. One of the flagship project is Segregation Treatment & Disposal project proposed in Sahiwal City.

The project aims at exploiting the economic potential of the MSW through recovery of recyclables, RDF and compost production; a material sorting and composting facility (STD Facility) is being established in Sahiwal enabling TMA Sahiwal to initiate the waste diversion from the open dumping or landfilling. The project is expected to be operational by December 2017.

Main activities include the following:-
