s with the
LAs
Vehicles for waste collection from MBJB, MPJBT, MPK and MDP
localities are owned and maintained by SWMSB and other
contractors.
The vehicles used for collection are a combination of
compactors, roll on/roll off and open lorries.
Typical collection crew consists of one driver and about three or
four loaders. SWMSB compactors have an average capacity of 8
tonnes while the other private contractors typically use 5 to 8
tonne lorries.
Most of the vehicles were previously owned by the LAs and
transferred to SWMSB during privatization.
