Amman, Oct. 1 (Petra) — The Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) has
deployed additional crews, vehicles and equipment to support waste
collection contractors across the capital, reporting a 51 percent
decline in complaints since the companies began handling cleaning
services.

The municipality said Thursday it is temporarily reinforcing
contractors’ operations until newly allocated waste compactors and
other equipment are delivered and enter service, with further fleet
capacity expected before the end of October and additional deliveries
scheduled before year-end.

The measures are aimed at maintaining uninterrupted collection,
clearing waste accumulation and improving service regularity across
Amman’s neighborhoods.

GAM said it is also reorganizing operational responsibilities with
contractors, clearly assigning areas and workloads according to
available equipment and staffing levels, while monitoring performance
in the field.

Cleaning operations are being intensified this week at locations
where waste accumulation has repeatedly been reported. Crews are
returning to treated sites to ensure collection remains regular and
that the problem does not recur.

The municipality said the arrival of new equipment in phases will
gradually increase collection capacity. It will publish confirmed
numbers and delivery dates, along with details of vehicles that have
entered service.

GAM expects a further noticeable improvement in cleanliness and waste
collection over the next three weeks, with service levels continuing
to strengthen as the new equipment becomes operational.

The municipality also said location-specific reports from residents
help identify areas requiring intervention and allow crews to respond
more efficiently.

GAM and its contractors are responsible for maintaining regular
collection and clearing accumulated waste, while adherence to
waste-disposal regulations can help keep neighborhoods clean, the
municipality added.
