Rubbish Disposal

Dubai’s per capita domestic waste rate is extremely high, with some estimates saying that each household generates over 1,000kg of rubbish per year – one of the worst offenders in the world.

Fortunately, rubbish disposal is efficient, with municipality trucks driving around each area and emptying skips daily. Just empty your household bins into the skips (there is usually one on every street). If you don’t have a skip on your street, then contact the municipality on 800 900 to request one. Certain areas, such as Emirates Living, have wheelie bins outside each house, where waste is regularly collected from. Recycling efforts are poor but slowly improving.
