6/19/24, 10:18 AM Dubai: Over 3,000 Sanitation Engineers To Keep City Clean During Eid Al Adha
Necessary resources have also been allocated for waste collection and transportation
including prompt cleaning of accident sites along external roads and highways.

A fleet of 759 automated vehicles – including light vehicles and heavy equipment units- will

complete different routine field operations and respond to emergencies. During the Eid Al
Adha holidays, the fleet will run 456 daily programmes on an average, which include duties

such as cleaning, addressing complaints, reporting incidents and regular field inspections.

Working around the clock
To ensure general cleanliness operations throughout the holiday, Dubai Municipality has

scheduled and controlled landfills, waste disposal locations, and treatment facilities.

During the holidays, Al Qusais landfill and Bayada landfill will be operational around the clock

and the medical waste incinerator at Jebel Ali Hazardous Waste Treatment Plant will also
operate without interruption, in addition to the control room at Warsan waste-to-energy
conversion facility.

The authority has streamlined access to various services, including the submission of

requests for the convenience of the public and customers through its website. The services

include applying for permits to dispose of hazardous waste, commercial waste, and
unnecessary materials.

Individuals can also request for wide range of services including contracting with waste
collection and transportation companies, securing a no-objection certificate for infrastructure

and construction projects and adding or changing the location of waste containers. On the first
day of Eid Al Adha, the services for collecting bulk waste will be temporarily discontinued and

will resume on the following days.

Dubai Municipality has urged the public to adhere to guidelines, preserve public facilities,
prevent barbecuing on green areas, refrain from littering in public places, and ensure proper

waste disposal in a manner that maintain the emirate's cleanliness.
