Hazardous Waste Treatment Facility will operate continuously with no disruptions during the
Eid Al Fitr holidays.

As part of the initiative, Dubai Municipality will also keep an eye on the operations of private
sector firms. All operations are set to be carried out by seven different companies, three of
which are in charge of managing cleaning duties and waste segregation in public and
residential areas. Two of them will focus on promoting recycling and meeting circular
economy requirements, while another firm is dedicated to transporting abandoned vehicles,
along with one that specialises in the upkeep of public health facilities.

More importantly, Dubai Municipality has announced that it will now use its official website to
provide a range of services and assistance to the public and customers. These services
include the ability to request permits for disposing of hazardous waste, commercial waste,
and unwanted materials.

Likewise, individuals can submit requests to approve contracts with waste collection and
transportation companies, as well as obtain no-objection certificates for infrastructure and
construction projects. Another service available is the ability to request the provision or
relocation of waste containers. However, it has been stated that the Municipality will
temporarily suspend its bulk waste disposal operation during the initial days of Eid Al Fitr,
after which it will resume normal operations.
