“Special waste management center to be established soon”

The adviser to the Minister of Interior has announced that a special center for waste management will be set up in the very near future.

Speaking at the seventh specialized meeting of the heads of waste management organizations which was held in Qom, Majid Tahouri said that the establishment of the center will quantitatively and quantitatively improve waste management and traffic transportation in the country.

Waste chain management must be economical and attractive to the private sector so that we do not have to use limited government budgets to manage this area, Tahouri noted.

He went on to say that in order to make waste management economical, several meetings have been held in recent weeks. The meetings largely stressed the convergence of the private sector companies in the field of waste management.

Emphasizing separation from the source, the interior minister’s advisor said it will improve the process of waste management and make the waste sector more economical.

Upgrading technology in the waste disposal sector is also one of the approaches and priorities of the Ministry of Interior in the new era with private sector investment, he added.

The seventh specialized meeting of the heads of waste management organizations began in the Rezvan meeting hall of Qom Municipality on Wednesday with the presence of the managers of 18 metropolises.
