Under the program implemented according to a concept of the Minister of Provincial Council and Local Government Faizer Mustapha, all Municipal Councils have decided to collect only the properly classified garbage as degradable and non degradable. Accordingly, it has been decided not to collect the unclassified garbage from tomorrow.

Minister Mustapha has taken steps to inform all the Cabinet Ministers regarding the program while all the police stations were informed by the Secretary to the Ministry of Law, Order, and Southern Development. Progress reviewing will also be held once a month.
