Sindh Solid Waste Management BoardThe Sindh Solid Waste Management Board (SSWMB) is a government agency in the province of Sindh, Pakistan, responsible for the collection, treatment, and disposal of municipal, industrial, agricultural, and medical solid waste. It was established by an act of the Provincial Assembly of Sindh to address the growing challenges of waste management in urban and rural communities.[1][2][3][4][5] History and EstablishmentThe SSWMB was created through the Sindh Solid Waste Management Board Act, 2014, which was passed by the Provincial Assembly of Sindh on February 10, 2014, and assented to by the Governor of Sindh on March 7, 2014. The Act was later amended in 2021 to provide for the establishment of divisional boards in every divisional headquarters of the province, including Karachi, Hyderabad, Mirpurkhas, Sukkur, Shaheed Benazirabad, and Larkana.[1][2][3][4][5] The primary objective behind the creation of SSWMB was to ensure an efficient and modern garbage collection and disposal system by outsourcing its municipal functions and implementing an integrated and scientific approach to waste management.[1][2][3][4][5] References
