WAMCO’s services are gradually being extended beyond Malé City to other atolls. Earlier this year, the corporation introduced waste management services in Haa Dhaalu Kulhudhuffushi and Gaafu Dhaalu Thinadhoo.

The national programme, “Magey Saafu Raajjee” (My Clean Maldives), forms a key part of the Week-14 roadmap, focusing on scheduling, announcing, and implementing waste management projects nationwide. The initiative’s primary aim is to establish sustainable and environmentally friendly waste management systems, including the development of eco-friendly waste disposal centres and enhanced waste transportation networks linking regional centres with islands.

Additionally, the programme emphasises education and training, offering awareness campaigns and workshops to promote safe waste management practices at both local and regional levels.

WAMCO’s expansion efforts align with broader national goals to ensure cleaner and healthier environments across the Maldives while addressing pressing waste management challenges in a sustainable manner.
