Dubai to close all landfills by 2027
Dubai looks set to close all landfills in the emirate in just two years, it has been revealed. The city's waste and sewage experts have highlighted that current plans will see all landfills closed by 2027. Ahead of the previously announced date of 2030, Dubai Municipality bosses have been hard at work on alternative ways to dispose of waste. A Waste-to-Energy Centre in the Warsan district of the city has, so far, been able to process approximately two million tonnes of waste per year. Waste at the centre is able to generate 220 megawatts of renewable energy per hour, totalling 5,280 megawatts daily, which is enough to power more than 135,000 homes. The latest update on waste management in the city was made at a media briefing hosted by the Government of Dubai Media Office (GDMO) as part of its 'Meet the CEO' series.
