Additional Simplified Procedure

The process for requesting waste disposal in Sri Lanka depends on the type of waste and your location. Here’s a breakdown of the two main scenarios:

1. Ship Waste Disposal:
If you’re a ship arriving at a Sri Lankan port, you’ll need to submit an advance notification to the Marine Environment Protection Authority (MEPA) prior to arrival. This can be done online through their eService portal: eService Sri Lanka: http://www.eservices.mepa.gov.lk/

Here’s the process:
** Go to the eService portal.
** Click on “Waste Disposal Request Form” on the homepage.
** Select the port where you intend to deliver the waste.
** Fill out the mandatory fields in the form with details about your ship and the waste you’re carrying.
** You can also select preferred service providers for waste disposal if required.
** Submit the form. The system will acknowledge your request and display the submitted information.

2. Domestic Waste Disposal:
For household or regular waste disposal, you’ll need to contact your local authority. Waste collection and disposal responsibilities fall under the purview of local authorities like Municipal Councils, Urban Councils, or Pradeshiya Sabhas.

Here’s what you can do:
** Search online for the contact details of your local authority based on your area.
** Call them to inquire about waste collection procedures and schedules.
** They might advise on any waste segregation requirements in your area.

Note:
In some cases, there might be private waste collection services available. You can explore those options as well, but make sure they are licensed and dispose of the waste responsibly.
