In Punjab 69.9 million people residing in rural areas generate approximately 20,000 tons per day of municipal waste. There are thousands of waste heaps lying in the rural landscape of Punjab destroying its beauty and future of population living in the country. There are risks of diseases as well as accumulation of pollutants in to the food chain. With the passage of time and use of modern commodities nature of the waste in rural areas has shifted from nature friendly organic to plastic and other dangerous ingredients. Waste management in rural areas can no longer be neglected and it requires long term solution that caters all environmental constraints. It can no longer be neglected and shifting of waste heaps from place to place should be avoided. A medium and long-term solution must be implemented if future of country is to be secured. In medium term, thousands of waste heaps should be reduced to few hundred by collecting waste in a proper manner and transporting it to dedicated dump sites. In long term, all the waste should be directed to few dozen technically designed and maintained landfill sites.
Government of Punjab is very conscious about the “almost non-existent system” Solid Waste Management (“SWM”) system in villages (“Rural Areas”) of Punjab. Moreover, Local Government Department believes that if the streets and street drains are not paved or properly maintained then rural sanitation will be a failure.
