The Lahore Waste Management Company (LMWC) has placed more than 300 painted containers and 150 bins in the city.
The LWMC sources said on Monday these containers had been fabricated and painted at the company's workshops by special truck art artists. These include calligraphy and floral designs, with meaningful messages to evoke social causes.
Each container was different and elaborately decorated with a thought to promote art and use of these containers to maintain the beauty of the city, said an official.
The painted containers had been placed at PU Old Campus, near Chaman Ice Cream point, Lahore Zoo, Alhamra, Hall, The Mall road, Main Market, Noor Jahan Road, Gulberg Galleria, Jail Road, Hali Road, Main Ferozepur Road, Outside Barkat Market, Karim Market, Moon Market, Shadman, MM Alam Road, Liberty, Garhi Shahu and other prominent points of the city.
The initiative of placing containers with truck art was taken to avoid littering in the city and to promote disposing of garbage in bins.
