LAHORE: Heaps of rubbish and garbage have not so far been removed from majority of the City roads despite Lahore Waste Management Company’s (LWMC) claim that it has started a drive to clear waste backlog from the City areas.
Talking to The News, many citizens have complained that uncollected waste has become a common sight, reflecting incompetency of present government. They said during the tenure of the previous government people from all over the country used to give examples of cleanliness in Lahore and even teams of Sindh government visited Lahore to know cleanliness system for Karachi.

+ March 04, 2021 REMEMBER the garbage imported from Canada that were labeled as recyclable plastic but turned out to be mixed waste with hazardous content? It took several years for the waste to be finally returned to Canada after years of negotiations.
Around 100 containers of this recyclable waste were shipped in batches from Canada to the Philippines from 2013 to 2014 by the Canadian company Chronic Plastics Inc. After six years, the remaining 69 containers were shipped back to Canada on May 31, 2019.
But that’s not the end of the story. The process of prosecuting those responsible for the fiasco is still going on. The importers and consignees were charged criminally at the Manila RTC. Some officials of the Bureau of Customs and the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) were also charged.
