HYDERABAD (HRNW) – The President of the Hyderabad Chamber of Small Traders and Small Industry (HCSTSI), Muhammad Saleem Memon, has emphasized the critical role of the Sindh Solid Waste Management Board (SSWMB) ahead of Eid-ul-Adha. He has demanded the formulation of a comprehensive and sustainable waste management strategy to dispose of sacrificial animal offal, bones, fat, and other organic waste in a modern, scientific, and eco-friendly manner. In this regard, he has also dispatched a detailed letter to the General Manager of Operations.
The Chamber President stated that due to the massive number of sacrificial animals across the city during Eid-ul-Adha, there is an extraordinary surge in organic waste. This leads to issues such as lack of cleanliness, foul odors, drainage blockages, and environmental pollution in various residential and commercial areas. He noted that keeping past ground realities and public grievances in mind, more effective and modern measures are required this year. Complaints frequently arise from several areas regarding delays in the collection of animal remains, which causes severe stench and unhygienic conditions.
In his letter, Muhammad Saleem Memon suggested that sacrificial animal waste should be kept entirely separate from regular household garbage, and special biodegradable bags should be distributed among citizens for this purpose. He added that dedicated vehicles and special collection teams should be deployed exclusively for sacrificial waste during the days of Eid. Furthermore, temporary collection points should be established at the Union Council level, where lime powder and disinfectant sprays should be utilized to prevent the spread of odors and diseases.
He also proposed that the Sindh Solid Waste Management Board should formulate a proper plan to convert sacrificial animal waste into organic fertilizer and biogas. Utilizing bones, fat, and other remnants through modern scientific methods can provide an eco-friendly solution, and the resulting organic fertilizer could prove highly beneficial for the agricultural sector and the farmers of Sindh.
While appreciating the board’s ongoing initiatives regarding plastic waste recycling, the Chamber President emphasized the need to introduce a permanent and modern system for Eid’s organic waste on similar lines. He also stressed the importance of launching public awareness campaigns through mosques, social media, and local administration. Muhammad Saleem Memon expressed hope that the SSWMB and district administration will adopt a timely and coordinated strategy for Eid-ul-Adha 2026 to make Hyderabad clean and environment-friendly, assuring the Chamber’s full cooperation in this regard.
