Automated Fleet:

Additionally, the municipality has deployed a lineup of 759 automated vehicles along with
necessary equipment to complete different routine field operations that support programs as

well as emergency services 24 hours a day and upon request. The fleet includes 318 heavy
vehicles, 158 lightweight vehicles, 176 rental vehicles, and 77 heavy equipment units, which

are connected to boats for cleaning and 30 lightweight equipment units. During the Eid Al-
Adha holidays, the fleet will run 456 daily programs on an average, which include duties such

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

Operating Hours:

The Municipality’s strategy to ensure general cleanliness operations throughout Dubai’s Eid Al-

Adha holiday includes scheduling and controlling 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, which will be operational 24/7 during the holidays.

Dubai Municipality 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. Furthermore, individuals can 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 urges the public to adhere to the guidelines, preserve public facilities,
prevent barbecuing on green areas, refrain from littering in public places, and ensure proper

waste disposal in a manner that maintains the emirate’s urban appearance.
