NYE 2021: The men behind the clean-up operation at Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Zayed Festival

Abu Dhabi - Teams from Abu Dhabi Waste Management Center (Tadweer) keep festive venue spick and span

Abu Dhabi marched into 2021 with a heavy-duty big bang event at the Sheikh Zayed Festival. It was an unforgettable night stacked with vibrant events and food and beverages outlets to boot.

And long after the revellers had left, a handful of dedicated personnel were busy cleaning the venue. They have been at work right from the start of the party in Al Wathba. While everyone enjoyed the dances, rides, fountain and laser shows and majestic fireworks display, these bunch of cleaning personnel were always on lookout for any trash on the ground.

If all major venues, which hosted the New Year's Eve party, look spick and span by today afternoon, it is the result of the hard work by the various field teams of Abu Dhabi Waste Management Center (Tadweer).

“This is our job. We have been doing this throughout the festival. We do this every day not just today and not only here but all over Abu Dhabi,” said a cleaner, who is among the team playing a key role in keeping Abu Dhabi a world-class city. “People are nice, they don’t litter much,” the humble staff added while continuing his work.
