Over 1,000 cleaners collected 87 tonnes of waste across Dubai after the New Year's Eve celebrations that drew more than two million people, the civic body announced on Wednesday.
Talib Julfar, CEO for the infrastructure services sector of the Dubai Municipality, said the department prepared an integrated plan to clean up celebration sites, including the Burj Khalifa area, Business Bay, beaches extending from Jumeirah Beach to Dubai Marina and the Burj Al Arab, the Sheikh Zayed Road, Downtown Dubai and Dubai Water Canal.
An integrated team of 1,802 workers and volunteers, 1,066 of the municipality's cleaners and 30 specialised supervisors helped clear 87 tonnes of waste from the sites "in record time".
