Cleaning Up Dubai: The Municipality’s Efforts in 2025
Dubai is more than just a city; it’s a vibrant hub that constantly evolves. In an exciting initiative, Dubai Municipality recently announced the removal of 1,387 abandoned vehicles during the first half of 2025. This is part of a wider effort to enhance the city’s visual appeal and ensure public safety. Alongside this, a whopping 6,187 warnings were issued across various sectors—including residential, commercial, and industrial areas—aimed at keeping our streets clean and tidy.
Eng. Saeed Abdul Rahim Safar, the Director of the Waste Operations Department at Dubai Municipality, emphasized that addressing abandoned vehicles is crucial for maintaining the urban environment. "Our field teams tirelessly monitor and remove these vehicles from roads, public parking areas, and even sandy plots," he said. It’s impressive that the municipality achieved a 77.6% positive response rate in addressing these abandoned vehicle cases.
But it’s not just about cleanup. The Municipality is implementing community awareness campaigns to tackle the issue at its roots. Safar noted that educating the public on the dangers of abandoned vehicles is essential. Promoting community responsibility and collaboration with government and private partners can make a significant difference in sustaining Dubai’s charm.
So how does the process work? Field teams identify and log vehicle details in a smart system. Owners are then issued a warning notice with 3 to 15 days to take action, depending on the vehicle’s state. For those registered in Dubai, an SMS alert is sent out via the Roads and Transport Authority. If no action is taken, the vehicle is removed and taken to an impound yard.
This initiative serves as a gentle reminder for all residents: avoid leaving vehicles unattended for long periods, especially during the summer holidays. By working together, we can keep our city looking its best.
