The Abu Dhabi Waste Management Centre, or Tadweer, has finished preparing to manage waste for Eid Al Adha through its task forces, said local reports on Saturday, July 17.
Tadweer has a comprehensive action plan to safeguard public health and ensure business continuity during the festive season in times of the Covid-19 pandemic, said the reports.
The plan is expected to be implemented by Tadweer’s Department of Waste Collection and Transportation and the Department of Public Health Pest Control.
It will reportedly focus on providing targeted support services across Abu Dhabi to address the needs of the population as large numbers of people congregate, and the amount of slaughterhouse waste increases.
The waste collection department’s plan for Eid involves manual and mechanical sweeping as well as washing and general cleaning of public spaces with special attention paid to Eid prayer grounds, collecting and transporting waste from government slaughterhouses, and picking up waste in public parks and on open beaches, said the reports.
The department will deploy 251 additional bins as well as 65 cleaning-equipment units during the holiday period, they added.
Meanwhile, Tasweer’s Public Health Pest Control Department has reportedly allocated 1,240 workers, 322 cars and 1,251 other vehicles for Eid operations.
Tadweer’s action plan includes assigning emergency field teams to address service requests from the public, as well as providing pest control in key areas, especially government slaughterhouses, public parks and markets, said the reports.
In the run-up to the festive season, the department’s teams have reportedly conducted pest-control campaigns at several important sites, in addition to the locations serviced on a daily basis.
The focus sites include mosques, Eid prayer grounds, government slaughterhouses, public gardens and parks, palaces and villas, public markets, and all residential areas in Abu Dhabi.
