Abu Dhabi The Municipality of Abu Dhabi City (ADM) has launched a new initiative targeting waste sorting and recycling at its main building and five affiliated external centres.
Othman Al Fouladi, director of the Facility and Security Division at ADM said in a press statement that the new initiative was part of the Municipality's initiatives and strategies to conserve the environment.
He noted that waste recycling constituted a vital aspect of the Municipality's objectives that would contribute to strengthening the Municipality's mission of achieving a clean environment free of contaminants and conserving and recycling resources using modern technologies and customised containers for each type of waste.
