Demolition companies to be charged according to levels of waste produced.
Abu Dhabi’s Centre of Waste Management is to introduce from March 16 the ‘Waste Generation Tariff System’ for companies and establishments in the emirate, Khaleej Times has reported.
The new system is aimed at reducing by 80% waste production from commercial, industrial, construction, and demolition activities by 2018.
Businesses will be charged fees based on the rate of waste produced annually, according to the type of activity and the size of the facility, Hamad Al Amri, General Manager of the centre, said.
This latest crackdown comes almost exactly a year after the country set in place strict new rules governing demolition activity by creating an approved contractor database.
