Oman- Door to door garbage collection service in Greater Muttrah soon


(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Muscat-
The Muscat Municipality is in the process of extending its door-to-door home garbage collection service to areas under Greater Muttrah.

A senior official from Muscat Municipality said 'The service will be introduced in Greater Muttrah area covering Ruwi Darsait Wadi Kabir and Muttrah.

The municipality is planning to collect waste directly from homes. We have issued notices to residents of these areas in this regard.'

The municipality has begun distributing trash bins to houses in these areas the official said. Last year 4500 trash bins were distributed in areas where the municipality has already launched this service. This year around 2500 bins will be given to homes the official said.

According to the notice the garbage from the bins will be collected each morning. They will have to be placed outside the house before 5am. Tuesdays and Saturdays have been allotted for collection of bigger waste like discarded furniture equipment trees etc.

The official said that the direct waste transfer system aims to improve the city's aesthetics by removing all large trash containers which breed insects and lead to foul smell.

Reacting to the service Shakeer Ahmed a Ruwi resident said 'A notice in this regard was issued a few weeks ago. The system will have its pros and cons. The municipality has stressed on people's cooperation for successful implementation of service.'
