Averda, a leading international waste and recycling company headquartered in Dubai, has been awarded a three-year waste management contract for Discovery Gardens, one of Dubai’s popular residential communities by renowned developer, Nakheel. 

Under the new contract, 50 large recycling cages will be provided to the residents. Materials collected for recycling will include paper, cardboards and plastic cans,  bottles, tubs and trays. The frequency of waste collection will double to six days a week. 

Averda will also provide three dedicated bins for residents to discard old or broken electrical items. These will be sent for specialised recycling at a dedicated facility. Averda will be working closely with Nakheel on a public education campaign on recycling and source segregation. 

Commenting on the new waste management contract, Francis Giani, Chief Community Management Officer, Nakheel Community Management, said, “Sustainable waste management not only ensures quality living experience, but also contributes to Dubai’s environmental efforts. We endeavour to instill a culture of conscious and sustainable living across our assets.” 

Mohamed Salah, Averda’s Commercial Director, said, “By providing adequate infrastructure to enable source segregation in the community and organising community awareness drives, we aim to further augment residents’ recycling practices. This initiative will make Discovery Gardens an even more sustainable community.”
