4/4/24, 10:02 AM Dubai Municipality unveils strategic action plan to manage public hygiene services during Eid Al-Fitr
The waste disposal and treatment facilities owned by Dubai Municipality, such as the Al
Qusais landfill and Bayada dump site, will have set work hours on account of the cleaning

operations for Eid al-Fitr holiday. These facilities are scheduled to be open around the

clock throughout the holiday season. Additionally, the medical waste incinerator at the
Jebel Ali 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 specializes 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.
