CDA Plans Waste Collection Upgrade in Islamabad

The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has announced a new initiative to improve solid waste management across the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT).

The authority has decided to procure specialized machinery to facilitate the primary and secondary collection of solid waste from unattended areas, ensuring cleaner streets and a healthier environment for residents.

Under this plan, waste collected from various parts of the city will be transported to the Losar dumpsite from designated transfer stations. The initiative aims to streamline the waste disposal process, reduce the burden on existing municipal services and tackle the persistent issue of garbage accumulation in neglected neighborhoods.

CDA officials stated that the move will not only enhance the efficiency of waste collection but also support environmental sustainability by ensuring timely and systematic disposal. The deployment of modern machinery is expected to cover areas previously overlooked, improving public hygiene and sanitation standards throughout ICT.

Transportation logistics have been carefully planned, with designated transfer stations serving as hubs for waste movement to the Losar dumpsite. CDA emphasized that this step reflects its ongoing commitment to urban cleanliness and is part of broader efforts to upgrade municipal services in the capital.
