Abu Dhabi government organisation Tadweer that is responsible for disposal of waste is studying a proposal to make the collection chargeable as part of its plan to encourage recycling. Charging may be based on the number of residents or number of rooms in an apartment or villa. The pay-as-you-throw scheme has been revealed at the 6th Annual Waste Management Middle East Forum yesterday.
