Also commenting on the contract signing, H.E. Abdul Rahman Al Nuaimi, Director General of the Municipality Department, said: “The Department seeks to build robust partnerships with various environmental entities in the country to protect the image and appeal of the emirate as well as to contribute to a happier society. We aim to ensure Ajman’s communities enjoy all the elements of comfortable living in a clean, green and healthy environment.”

H.E. Khaled Al Huraimel, Group CEO of Bee'ah, said: “Bee'ah is committed to extend its reach and collaborate with different entities to improve quality of life for the communities we serve, whether through integrated waste management, disinfection and sanitization or renewable energy projects. We’re proud to partner with Ajman Municipality & Planning Department, which does not spare its efforts to achieve excellence.”

Both parties agreed to fully cooperate in the field of environment management. As per their respective roles, the Department will provide Bee’ah with all the technical requirements including indicative data such as time tables, geographical distribution and statistics related to waste generation as well as details on the infrastructure of main and secondary streets, traffic signal intersections, and public parking.

Moreover, the Department has agreed to facilitate Bee’ah’s operations by overcoming any challenges that may be faced within the scope of the Department's influence, and in line with its policies and strategy. Both parties also agreed to take on the responsibilities of completing projects related to general cleansing, pest control and periodic sterilization.

Under the agreement with Ajman Municipality, Bee’ah will undertake waste collection, city and beach cleaning, street sweeping, and bin disinfection services. To serve over 240,000 of Ajman’s population in the Al Rashidiya, Liwara, Al Nuaimia, Al Nakhil and Al Rumailah districts, a team of over 400 employees and 50 vehicles and heavy equipment will be deployed.

The move is another step forward for the UAE’s sustainability and zero-waste ambitions, maintaining the safety and health of the people and protecting the environment in which the communities live in accordance with the Ajman 2021 goals.

The signing ceremony was followed by a showcase by Bee’ah to H.H. Sheikh Rashid Al Nuaimi and other Ajman Municipality and Planning Department representatives, of Bee’ah’s superior vehicles, equipment and digital solutions that provide advanced waste management solutions.

As part of its comprehensive operations in Ajman, Bee’ah will responsibly and sustainably manage 250 tonnes of residential, commercial and industrial waste – the equivalent weight of around 150 cars – generated daily in the Emirate.

While special equipment will be used to handle bulk waste, each residential home in the covered areas will be given bulk bags to dispose of larger volumes of waste, such as end-of-life homeware, fixtures and organic waste, which will later be collected by Bee’ah. In addition, Bee’ah will develop an innovative recycling and educational centre to promote social responsibility and encourage the public to think and act more sustainably and reduce waste generation.

Bee’ah, in line with its commitment to the UAE’s sustainability and zero-waste goals, has won the trust of municipalities in Sharjah and Abu Dhabi, along with corporate establishments across the UAE, by successfully employing its award-winning integrated waste management strategy to notable effect.

Since its inception in 2007, Bee'ah, the award-winning sustainability pioneer, has been achieving the desired goals and establish solid partnership with various entities to provide services which benefit all communities.
