The Identification and Establishment of 02 Sanitary Landfill Sites project is a major solid waste management initiative being undertaken in Punjab to develop a sustainable and environmentally compliant waste disposal system. The project covers two locations including approximately 150 acres of land near Town Lakhuwana in Faisalabad and about 65 acres of land near Town Bhakhrawali in Gujranwala. The initiative is sponsored and executed by the Local Government and Community Development Department with implementation support through Punjab Municipal Development Fund Company. The total project duration is 3 years with an estimated cost of PKR 4,499.95 million.
The project aims to establish modern sanitary landfill facilities to safely dispose of municipal solid waste collected from City and Sadar tehsils of Faisalabad and Gujranwala. Each landfill site will be integrated with a 500 tons per day Material Recovery Facility to ensure that all incoming waste is processed for segregation and recovery before final disposal. This integrated approach supports waste reduction, recycling and recovery of useful products while minimizing the volume of waste sent to landfill cells.
