> Meanwhile, a solid waste recycling industry, mostly in the informal sector, developed in Karachi over the years. [...] The contractors organising this activity pay the Karachi Municipal Corporation (KMC) staff to not pick up the garbage so that the picking can be made easier. > solid waste has been used for reclaiming land from the sea for both low income and elite residential purposes. Such reclamation is, strictly speaking, illegal in both cases. Informal developers informally arrange for KMC trucks to deposit their solid waste on the mangrove marshes and hire KMC tractors to spread and compact it. Whoa. That's some next level corruption. Where it actually starts to supply infrastructure that should exist legally but apparently doesn't.
