The problem

Collection coverage is incomplete and disposal capacity is under strain, creating public-health risk.

Objectives

  • Expand collection routes and vehicle fleet
  • Establish transfer points
  • Introduce waste segregation at source
  • Improve final disposal site management

Project story

Waste collection is one of the most visible tests of city governance. This programme expands the fleet, adds transfer points and introduces segregation so neighbourhoods stay clean year-round.
