The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has unveiled a new cleanliness plan for Islamabad, combining modern bin systems, stricter enforcement, and international-standard waste management services.
The initiative was announced in a meeting chaired by CDA Chairman and Chief Commissioner Muhammad Ali Randhawa at CDA Headquarters. Officials said Islamabad will be divided into two packages: urban sectors (Zones 1–3) and rural zones (4–5).
Residents will see a two-bin waste collection system, while commercial areas will shift to a three-bin model following a feasibility study. Randhawa emphasized the importance of a transparent bidding process to attract credible waste management firms and stressed that lessons from Punjab and other provinces should be applied in Islamabad.
To strengthen enforcement, CDA will introduce fines for littering. The plan also features a Material Recovery Facility for sorting recyclable materials, segregation of organic waste in wholesale markets, and a centralized monitoring system for real-time oversight.
“The citizens of Islamabad deserve an optimal waste management system, and we are committed to delivering visible improvements soon,” Randhawa stated.
