The works include the construction of transfer facilities at Mafraq and landfill and composting units at Al-Dhafra to replace the existing landfill site.The programme is being overseen by a government committee made up of Abu Dhabi Municipalities & Agriculture, Mubadala Development Company and the Environmental Department. The committee's consultant is Germany's Fichtner.
