LWMC starts clean-up drive for students’ awareness

LAHORE: The Lahore Waste Management Company (LWMC) and Pak Mission Society Wednesday joined hands to conduct public awareness activities aimed at promoting solid waste management practices among young students.

The event was held under the Child Driven Climate Action Program at Greater Iqbal Park and over 200 students from both government and private schools attended it. The event featured a clean-up drive and a puppet show.

Through engaging performances and hands-on activities, the students learned about the significance of proper waste disposal and environmental conservation.
