TADWEER ABU DHABI SERVICES
Tadweer Abu Dhabi oversees a number of services related to waste management in the emirate.
WORKING WITH WASTE REMOVAL COMPANIES
Tadweer Abu Dhabi oversees operations of all waste management companies in the capital. The call centre at Tadweer manages multiple services including the issuance of licences as well as the delegation of work to registered companies.
WASTE MINES
Waste mines are small sorting stations located in various residential areas in Abu Dhabi. Here, the public can separate waste and sort recycling materials like plastic, metal cans and batteries.
TADWEER E-AUCTIONS
Tadweer’s E-auctions allow people to put up recyclable items for sale instead of just throwing them away. Those in the recycling business can then bid for these items. This exciting initiative promotes recycling and creates economic activity.
COLLECTION OF AGRICULTURAL WASTE
Agriculture farm waste collection points are used by farmers to get rid of agricultural residues and organic waste safely. As part of this initiative, Tadweer identified farms and stockyard areas in Abu Dhabi and built collection points to facilitate the farmers to easily eliminate their agricultural waste.
BOLISATY
Tadweer Bolisaty is a smart integrated waste database system. It is a mechanism to bring together the waste producers, environment service providers, treatment facilities and the final waste disposal sites. A waste producer can get in touch with an environmental service provider for waste collection, which will then be collected and taken to treatment facilities and final waste disposal sites. The entire cycle is digitalised making it easier for all stakeholders. This is one of the most vital services offered by Tadweer Abu Dhabi.
