In fact, according to a senior Sindh Solid Waste Management Board (SSWMB) official, Hyderabad is the first city of the province to have a designated site for solid waste disposal. The landfill site is located some 27 kilometres away from the main city and in the first phase, the SSWMB is collecting garbage from different locations and bringing it to the designated site. And yet, till last month there was reportedly no officially designated landfill site in any of Sindh’s cities. The third landfill site was to be established on 3,000 acres of land at the Dhabeji site. Now, all such government plots that were being used as dumping sites will be turned into green sports, he added.
