ASEZA launches campaign to tackle illegal dumping in Aqaba

Aqaba, July 1 (Petra) – Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA)
on Wednesday launched the second phase of its “Hotspots”
environmental campaign in the Southern Industrial Zone (SIZ) to
eliminate illegal dumping sites, remove construction debris, and
improve environmental sustainability.

Taghreed Maaytah, ASEZA’s Director of Environment Protection and
Sustainability Directorate, said the campaign focuses on cleaning
critical ecological hotspots, clearing debris, and educating
industrial zone businesses on proper waste management.

The initiative reflects a coordinated effort between public
institutions and the private sector to improve environmental
compliance, curb illegal waste disposal, and preserve Aqaba’s urban
environment, according to Maaytah.

The campaign, she added, is part of ASEZA’s “broader’ environmental
program, aimed at reducing random waste dumping and supporting
“long-term” environmental sustainability across the city.
