Waste Management Corporation (WAMCO) on Monday stopped cleaning the public places of Male after the expiry of the agreement between the company and the Male City Council to clean and collect waste from public places in Male and Villimale.

According to WAMCO, the five-year agreement between the company and the Council expired on Sunday, and the council has not renewed it.

Services discontinued by WAMCO:

  • Clean up all roads, lanes and parks in Male and Villimale

  • Collection and disposal of waste from local markets in the city

  • Collection and disposal of garbage on roads and lanes in Male and Villimale

WAMCO will continue to provide household garbage.

Male Mayor Dr Mohamed Muizzu said in early December that the council will take over waste collection from public areas in Male once their agreement with WAMCO expires later this year. He had said the council will collect garbage only from public places and household waste will continue to be collected by WAMCO.

  • The council cited WAMCO’s failure to comply with the agreement they had had as reason
