Development of Punjab Regional Landfill Sites ProjectPunjab Regional Landfill Project
is proposed to establish regional landfill sites for safe disposal of solid
waste. However, when regional landfill sites are established the hauling
distances from the waste producer cities to the sites is increased. It may not
remain economically feasible to transport all waste to distant landfill sites
without introduction of Waste Transfer Stations.
A combination of regional
landfills and waste transfer stations is recommended for Punjab. This combination aims at optimizing
number and related costs of landfills as well opportunity to collect waste from
smaller dwellings in the region through effective use of waste transfer
stations. Regional landfills are suggested based upon already existing
Divisional administrative boundaries in the province. This would further ease
the implementation of the project.
At
pilot project, it is implemented in Sahiwal Division where assessment studies
and design is in progress.
