Designed to reduce waste and promote eco-friendly behavior, this initiative is already gaining popularity across the city.

💬 What LWMC Officials Are Saying
An LWMC representative stated:
“We launched this program to encourage Lahoris to clean their neighborhoods and benefit from it financially. It’s a smart, sustainable solution.”
Their goal is to turn everyday citizens into eco-heroes—while helping them earn something in return.
🌍 Why This Matters for Lahore
Every day, Lahore produces over 600 tons of plastic waste. Pakistan is already one of the top contributors to plastic pollution globally. Unfortunately, only 9% of plastic waste is recycled in the country.
