flag Punjab schools must install color-coded bins by Sept. 30 to boost recycling and cut pollution.

flag Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has launched a color-coded waste bin system in all schools across the province to improve waste management and reduce pollution. flag The initiative, part of a "Smart Waste Management Process," requires schools to install five labeled bins—yellow for paper, green for glass, grey for organic waste, red for metal, and orange for plastic—by September 30. flag Institutions must maintain hygiene and ensure proper segregation, with non-compliant schools facing fines. flag The Punjab Waste Management Helpline (1139) will coordinate waste collection, while the EPA and local authorities will conduct inspections. flag Schools meeting standards will receive certificates. flag The program aims to boost recycling, reduce landfill use, and instill eco-friendly habits among students, supporting broader environmental and climate goals in Punjab.
