ENVIRONMENTAL & HEALTH ISSUES The dumping sites are open to air & are serious

danger to the residence of the nearby residential areas

The waste reach at the roads & pedestrian paths, effecting the city beauty

Birds & flies fly over the waste, becoming a source of risk to Arial accidents

The burning of waste emits CO2, NOx, depleting our Ozone layer & increasing global warming

BURNING OF WASTE EMITS CO,CO2 & OTHER DANGEROUS GASSES

THE FLYING BIRDS CAN BECOME A SOURCE OF HUGE AIRPLANE ACCIDENTS

SUGGESTIONS & IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY

Short Term Strategy: Covered waste collection bags Personnel Protection Top Covered Dumping Site Rapid movement of KMC trucks for collection of

waste Increase in the salary of waste collectors Transforming the treatment of recycle-able waste

under KMC

SUGGESTIONS & IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGYMedium & Long Term Strategy: Better waste collecting vehicles

Converting secondary dumping site into GTS with modern facility of waste segregation

Proper landfill site operation with additional facility of composting, waste to energy, hazardous material disposal & bio gas formation
