The Waste Management Corporation Limited (WAMCO) has launched its services in Himmafushi, Kaafu Atoll, marking a significant step in maintaining a cleaner and more sustainable Maldives. President Dr Mohamed Muizzu inaugurated the new services during his recent tour of islands in Kaafu and Alifu Alifu Atolls.
Himmafushi is the latest island to benefit from WAMCO's waste management services, which now cater to households, businesses, and construction sites. Initially serving only Male’ City, WAMCO's services have expanded to Kulhudhuffushi City, Thinadhoo in Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll, and Maafushi in Kaafu Atoll.
This launch is part of a broader government initiative to improve waste management across the country, backed by a national waste management plan aimed at ensuring environmentally friendly practices from waste production to disposal.
