Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is the waste produced by residents, industries, offices and other organizations within a particular city or town where solid waste usually consists of such items as food waste, paper, plastics, cloth, yard waste and others. The components of the waste include; organic waste, paper and cardboards, plastics, metal, glass and textile wastes. Collection, transportation and recycling together with the correct disposal of the MSW require management. Good management practices should therefore seek to reduce the negative impact of wastes while at the same time increasing the amount of utilization of wastes. The key ways consist of recycling, composting, waste-to-energy (WTE), and landfilling. Recycling techniques transform used products into new products, composting techniques break down the organic waste into soil enhancers, WtE incinerates waste to produce energy and landfilling techniques bury wastes in designated areas. Cooperative working among municipal authorities, enterprises and inhabitants is one of the most important requirements for the efficient MSW management. By developing a dense population and consumption society, effective solutions to waste problems are required for sustainable development and protection of the environment.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
