History of the Minuwangoda Urban Council library
At a time mot a single library was available in the area, this library was founded in the year 1966 with the objective of further fuelling the unprecedented public interest generated by the free distraction of school text books among schoolchildren of poverty stricken families living in the town council area. Mr. D.B. Wijetunga who served then as the Chairman of the Town Council together with the other members of the council established the public library in a section of the Town Council office and later on it was shifted to a small building located at the Parakrama Grounds. At the time Parakrama Grounds was just a small park.
On 01st January 1970, the Minuwangoda Town Council was elevated to the status of an Urban Council and the library was moved to new premises at No.24, Samarakkody Mawatha. The building in that premises was an official quarters belonging to the Urban Council. Subsequently, some changes were made to this building to make it more suitable for a library. Samarakkody Mawatha too was later renamed as Siriwardana Mawatha and the library was named as Siriwardana Public Library. At present, the library is housed at the upper floor of the Urban Council building at Siriwardana Mawatha.

Minuwangoda which serves as an important junction town connecting the major towns of Negambo, Katunayake, Kurunegala, Gampaha, Nittambuwa, Divulapitiya and Ja-ela and on average 3,500 people enter the town daily for various needs.
It has been observed that a big amount of garbage gets piled up undermining the beauty of the town mainly due to high population density and the large number of people visiting the city.
Our prime objective is to bestow an eco friendly healthy environment for the posterity through the implementation of a well planned long term programme.
Main components of planned garbage management in Minuwangoda,
- Street sweeping - Three female workers and one male worker have been deployed for sweeping the town center from 6.30 to 10.30 in the morning and the main streets are swept after 10.30 a.m.
Resources of the Urban Council for garbage management
Tractors | 04 |
Handcarts | 04 |
Gully bowser | 01 |
Tipper trucks | 02 |
Two workers have been assigned to each vehicle for the collection of street garbage. In every street, degradable waste is collected daily and in main streets 02 service rosters are in operation.
Garbage collected from the residents is sorted at the residence itself and the garbage of the transit population is sorted at the Japala sorting centre.
Biodegradable litter waste is composted.
Measures have been taken to minimize the amount of garbage collected by the Urban Council by conducting a garbage fair every four months and selling items of garbage with commercial value.
