management (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) in all LSMC
areas. WEPCO’s inputs in solid waste management have

and source separation helped the residents to understand
these processes. Capacity building activities and
education campaigns from WEPCO have developed
environmental awareness and facilitated waste
Replicable best practice
After achieving a good response from local residents,
WEPCO has conducted a comprehensive campaign in order
