Dubai Waste Management

New Dubai Waste Management Regulation: Law No. 18 of 2024

Stay compliant, protect your business, and contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable Dubai.

Law No. 18 of 2024 on Waste Management in Dubai is now in effect. This means that companies involved in any aspect of waste management, from generation and transportation to treatment and disposal, must be compliant with the new law.

This new regulation applies across the Emirate of Dubai, including special development zones and free zones like the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC).

With aggressive recycling objectives, the new law implements stricter waste management regulations and escalates noncompliance penalties, including fines and potential reputational damage.

The Cost of Non-Compliance

Possible administration actions may include suspension of operations, temporary or permanent facility closures, and disconnection of water and electricity services for up to three months for non-compliant buildings or establishments. Non-compliance could result in:

  • Reputational damage
  • Financial penalties of up to AED 500,000
  • Legal consequences
