Islamabad: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has provided the Islamabad Metropolitan Corporation (IMC) land in five locations to establish garbage shifting stations, a news source reported. The step was taken so that logistical problems related to moving waste across large distances can be minimised.
These new stations will have an intermediary role between local garbage collection and the final disposal stage. Local waste collection trucks will unload at these locations, after which the garbage will be loaded onto larger vehicles. It will then be transported for final disposal.
The new approved sites include two on the Islamabad Expressway, and will be used for intermediate waste disposal from Pindorian, Kak Pul, Soan, Koral, Khanna, Burma, among other nearby places. One is being established at Sihala on the Industrial Triangle Kahuta Road, and will hold garbage collected from the Industrial Triangle and other areas nearby. The other two are being established at Tarlai and Lahwal.
