LAHORE: The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) has taken a significant step towards improving waste management in the city by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Lahore Waste Management Company (LWMC) for door-to-door waste collection in three housing schemes.

The agreement, signed under Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif’s “Suthra Punjab Program“, aims to collect waste from LDA Avenue One, Jubilee Town, and Mohlanwal Scheme in the first phase, with the process expected to begin by the end of March 2025.

According to LDA Director General Tahir Farooq, the LWMC will collect waste from these three schemes, significantly improving the cleaning system and providing relief to residents.

The LWMC will deploy its teams in multiple shifts to ensure that the cleanliness situation in Lahore remains a top priority, with the door-to-door waste collection system expected to be fully operational across the city by the end of March.

CEO LWMC Babar Sahib Din announced that a notified fee of PKR 300, 500, and 1,000 will be charged for 5-marla, 10-marla, and 1-kanal houses, respectively.

The event was attended by officials from LDA, LWMC, district administration, and residents, and later, LWMC teams conducted a flag march on the main roads of LDA Avenue One.

This initiative is part of the LWMC’s mission to turn Lahore into one of the cleanest cities in the world, as envisioned by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif.
