As MCC Qatar is a provider of the Waste Segregation and Recycling Bins in Qatar, we want to share with you the guidance to separate waste paper, plastic, metal, or glass collection.
Public and private waste collectors must follow the regulation on collecting particular wastes separately.
Waste collectors
If you collect waste, you may need to set up separate collections of waste for:
- Recycle paper (includes card and cardboard)
- Recycle plastic
- metal
- glass
This means collecting these four wastes separately from each other and from other wastes. This applies to commercial (trade), industrial, and household waste.
You must do this to increase the:
- quantity of waste for recycling
- quality of recycled material (by lowering the level of contamination)
You should help businesses producing waste to avoid putting paper, plastic, metal, or glass in the same container as their general waste. You can contact MCC Qatar if you want to recycle materials such as recycling plastic. We are a Waste Segregation and Recycling Bins provider in Qatar, to get more details.
