Waste Management Framework in Oman

For many years, waste management in Oman was
controlled by various local municipalities in con-
junction with the Ministry of Regional Municipal-
ities and Water Resources. Healthcare waste was
primarily regulated by the Ministry of Health, while
the Ministry of Environment and Climate Affairs
served as an important environmental regulator.

Infrastructure

In 2012, the waste management infrastructure in Oman comprised more than 300 dumpsites across
the country, 2 transfer stations (waste moved from smaller collection trucks to large semitrailers),
2 landfills (for waste disposal) and an exclusive healthcare waste treatment facility (incineration of
specific healthcare waste).
