Dubai, 27 May 2021:  Dubai Municipality has launched “Advanced System for Collection, Storage and Transport of Waste” in Zabeel 1 and 2 areas. The new system, in line with the Emirate’s direction to build a smart and sustainable city, and in pursuit of Dubai Municipality’s efforts to achieve the environmental targets of the National Agenda, is considered the most modern and advanced in integrated waste management systems. 

The system achieves many environmental benefits, both in terms of helping to implement the culture of optimal use of recyclable materials in residential areas and reducing dependence on manpower in the field of transport and emptying of waste storage methods. 

The project contributes to providing the basic infrastructure for segregating waste in residential areas and beautifying the general appearance of the area. All old waste storage methods have been withdrawn from the Zabeel 1 and 2 areas, and installing of bases for 212 new containers have been completed. A plan has been adopted and followed up for emptying these containers according to a supervisory and technical program and an approved daily course, in addition to preparing a field visit program for all residential units to raise awareness about the importance of adherence to waste separation and the optimal use of new containers.
