Dubai plans diverse teams of 3,200 members to ensure cleanliness, across the emirate during Eid holidays

A 3,200-member team and more than 700 vehicles and machinery will help ensure cleanliness during the Eid Al Fitr holidays as the emirate expects to receive a significant advent of tourists and visitors.

These include 2,300 cleaners tasked to manage hygiene and community services related to sustainable waste management across Dubai during the holiday. Working in four shifts, they will be provided with all the necessary tools and equipment for the task.

Additionally, the Dubai Municipality has appointed 650 hygiene engineers from the private sector to whom hygiene-related tasks in tourist, industrial, and desert areas have been outsourced.

The teams will include approximately 250 supervisory staff to monitor hygiene tasks and complete the closure of emergency field communications. Cleaners and public hygiene staff will work daily in three shifts to maintain the cleanliness of the city, including public beaches, and enhance their sustainability.

To preserve the environmental and hygienic conditions of public beaches, Dubai Municipality has also assigned a field team of 84 members, including 12 supervisors and 72 cleaners.

They will work daily in three shifts to maintain the cleanliness of public beaches in Dubai and enhance their sustainability, while providing a unique experience for beachgoers, including citizens, residents, and visitors, during the Eid holiday.

Furthermore, the Municipality has deployed approximately 752 vehicles and machinery, including 311 heavy vehicles, 158 light vehicles, 176 rental vehicles, 77 heavy equipment attached to hygiene boats, and 30 light equipment, all of which will be available upon request.

To keep major roads and highways clean during the first few days of Eid Al Fitr, Dubai Municipality has assigned a workforce made up of 57 cleaners and five supervisory and monitoring employees. The team will work in four shifts to cover a total of 2,300km of the main roads.

The waste disposal and treatment facilities owned by Dubai Municipality, such as the Al Qusais landfill and Bayada dump site, will have set work hours on account of the cleaning operations for Eid Al Fitr holiday. These facilities are scheduled to be open around the clock throughout the holiday season.

Additionally, the medical waste incinerator at the Jebel Ali Hazardous Waste Treatment Facility will operate continuously with no disruptions during the Eid Al Fitr holidays. However, the Municipality said it will temporarily suspend its bulk waste disposal operation during the initial days of Eid Al-Fitr, after which it will resume normal operations.
