Tadweer rolls out larger-capacity green containers to drive recycling increase across the capital

Abu Dhabi, UAE: Abu Dhabi Waste Management Company (Tadweer) has announced a new initiative aimed at improving waste segregation and promoting recycling practices throughout the Emirate. The initiative reflects Tadweer's ongoing commitment to making Abu Dhabi and Al Ain two of the cleanest and most sustainable cities in the world.

To address the challenges of waste segregation, Tadweer's new strategy includes the rollout of new, larger-capacity green recycling containers in defined, central locations. Green recycling containers are designated for recyclable materials only, while black waste containers will be used for all types of non-reusable waste.

To ensure that waste is properly sorted and processed, Tadweer will assign separate vehicles to collect the green and black receptacles. Recyclable waste will be transported to Tadweer's recycling facility for further segregation, treatment, and processing.

Residents may dispose of their dry recyclables such as paper, cardboard, pet bottles, aluminum cans, and glass in the newly-deployed green bins. Black bins should be used for single-use plastic products such as straws and plastic bags, food waste, etc. Broken glass or any sharp materials must be safely packed before being disposed of into the black bins.

Additionally, 20 units of larger and more targeted Community Recycling Centers (CRCs) have been deployed
