Abu Dhabi might charge residents for waste collection

NULL

Residents in the capital could be charged for waste collection by mid-2016. Abu Dhabi government organisation Tadweer that is responsible for disposal of waste is studying a proposal to make the collection chargeable as part of its plan to encourage recycling. Charging may be based on the number of residents or number of rooms in an apartment or villa. The pay-as-you-throw scheme has been revealed at the 6th Annual Waste Management Middle East Forum yesterday.
