Trash collection

Published January 20, 2019

ONE salutes the city and provincial administration for their efforts to make Lahore very clean and beautiful. Unlike many other cities of the country, Lahore has a proper garbage collecting system. The municipality staff and vehicles can be seen in all parts of city. I have an observation about the timing of the trash collection.

The municipality staff collects trash at a time when the roads and streets are busy. This causes traffic congestion on many narrow streets. The municipal staff should perform their duty early in the morning.
