Bee’ah, a UAE-based leader in integrated environment and waste management, said it is expanding into Saudi Arabia after being awarded three contracts for waste management services in Madinah, covering the North, West and East regions.

 

An award-winning sustainability pioneer in the region, Bee’ah pointed out that its services will be conducted for 70 per cent of the city, serving a population of 1.2 million people, as contracted by Madinah Municipality. 

 

It will provide solid waste collection and transport services along with disinfection and sanitisation of waste bins. 

 

Operations are scheduled to begin in August, utilising around 3,000 workers, along with 350 pieces of heavy equipment, including waste collection units, street sweepers and disposal trucks. Bee’ah will also conduct training sessions, workshops, and awareness campaigns, it stated.

 

As the region’s first fully integrated environmental management company, Bee’ah will deploy its end-to-end waste management solutions based on the twin pillars of sustainability and digitalisation. 

 

The goal is to provide a comprehensive roadmap for waste services, helping transform Madinah into a sustainable city of the future.

 

Chairman Salim bin Mohamed Al Owais said: "As Bee’ah continues to prove itself as the leading sustainability pioneer here in the UAE, we are delighted to introduce advanced waste management services and work with Madinah Municipality to ensure a sustainable quality of life for over 1.2 million people in the Saudi city."

 

Bee’ah’s efforts complement Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 targets in sustainable development, which includes raising recycling rates to 85 percent. 

 

Securing the Madinah contracts are, therefore, a notable achievement for the company, since the expected population of the North, East and West districts, where Bee’ah will commence its operations, is expected to grow from a current 1.2 million to 1.46 million by 2024, he added.
