New App 'Eltizam' Now Monitors Cleanliness Violations in Dubai
Dubai Municipality's new Eltizam app enables residents to report cleanliness issues, track responses, and access waste management services in real time.

In addition to reporting, Eltizam provides information on waste collection schedules, recycling points, and guidelines for proper waste disposal. The app aims to encourage community participation in maintaining Dubai's public spaces, supporting the city's reputation for high standards of cleanliness and urban management.
