Abu Dhabi’s Waste Management Expansion
Tajmee'e, a subsidiary of the Tadweer Group, has significantly scaled up its waste collection services in Abu Dhabi, now covering 70 districts across both mainland and island communities. Following the rollout of two new operational service areas between May and July, the company has deployed a workforce of over 1,150 staff and a fleet of 307 vehicles. This expansion is currently managing approximately 1,940 tonnes of waste every day, utilizing more than 39,700 bins to provide more consistent and reliable service to residents who previously struggled with collection reliability.
This initiative is a critical component of Abu Dhabi’s broader strategy to transition toward a circular economy and divert 80% of waste from landfills by 2031. Tadweer Group CEO Etienne Petit emphasized that integrating these services is essential for better resource recovery. To ensure long-term success, Tajmee'e has incorporated direct resident feedback into their operations, which includes upgrading bin designs and utilizing AI-driven route planning through the Tadweer 360 platform. Residents can easily stay engaged with these improvements by reporting issues or scheduling services directly through the Tadweer e-services portal using their UAE Pass.
