Over the course of the three days of Eidul Azha, the Capital Development Authority (CDA) gathered and distributed the offal and remains of nearly 130,000 animals, weighing a total of 2,278 tonnes. The CDA reported that their Eid garbage collection strategy was carried out smoothly around the city.
There were four distinct areas of the city, each with its own set of drop-off locations. The sanitation workers arrived early in the morning, ready to get to work with their machines, tractors, trolleys, and compactors.
CDA shares number of sacrificed animals
According to the CDA, more than 94,000 animals were slaughtered in the nation’s capital on the first day of Eid. About 52,000 goats and sheep, plus over 42,000 cows, bulls, and camels, made up the total. On the first day alone, the gathered waste and carcasses weighed about 1,676 tons.
About 31,000 animals were slaughtered on the second day, with the CDA collecting the excrement of 18,000 small animals and more than 13,000 large animals. On day two, the garbage collection yielded a total of around 542 tons.
The third and final day was spent collecting and disposing of the offal from over 2,600 small animals and 1,400 large animals. The resulting mass was around 60 tons. About 72,000 little animals and 58,000 large animals were slaughtered in honor of Eid.
More than 97 pits were dug in 45 distinct spots to handle garbage disposal. In addition, two separate emergency cells were set up across the city to guarantee adequate waste management. The CDA set up a helpline and gave out biodegradable plastic bags to locals in need of assistance before Eid. It’s important to remember that the garrison city has dumped 12,300 tons of garbage and scraps.
