Up to 87 per cent of the 15,000 tonnes of municipal waste generated daily in Karachi is recyclable, but instead of doing the recycling this trash is disposed of on the roadsides in Karachi.
The disclosure to this effect was made by Sindh Law and Environment Adviser, Barrister Murtaza Wahab on Thursday as he presided over a conference held at the NED University of Engineering & Technology in collaboration with the UN Habitat to mark the upcoming World Environment Day.
He said still the old system of municipal waste disposal was being practised in two districts, namely Korangi and Central, in Karachi. He said a modern system of municipal waste disposal was being practised in the rest of the five districts of Karachi.
