As the Sindh govt. urgently needs to mitigate the impact of flooding, the World Bank has designed the Karachi Solid Waste Emergency and Efficiency Project (SWEEP) with a proposed allocation of $ 100Mn. The scheme is expected to be approved in Oct’20. According to estimates, Karachi generates 12,000 to 16,000 tons of solid waste every day. Around 60% of this is collected and transported to two large insanitary dumps — Jam Chakro and Gond Pass.
