ABU DHABI, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News / WAM - 15th Sep, 2019) The Abu Dhabi Waste Management Centre, Tadweer, has opened a new state-of-the-art control centre to establish a central point for controlling and monitoring the performance of private environmental service providers tasked with the collection and transportation of waste in the emirate, as well as to electronically track waste transport vehicles.
