The Solid Waste Management (SWM) has long been a neglected sector due to the lack of strong commitment on the part of local authorities. Following the vision of Chief Minister Punjab Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif, Tehsil Municipal Administration (TMA) established Sialkot Solid Waste Management SWMC under section 42 of the company's ordinance 1984 on 12 July 2013. SWMC started its operation from 31st March 2014. SWMC is governed by a Board of Directors (BODS) presently chaired by Idrees Ahmad Bajwa.
