Studies and research
Pre-Collection/Sweeping &
Cleaning
• GAM cleanliness workers are responsible for sweeping and
cleaning the streets of Amman city
• About 4000 cleanliness workers are supervised by 200
supervisors
• Cleanliness workers and supervisors are controlled by the
environment protection section in each district, where each
section is under the leadership of at least one engineer
• Cleanliness workers work three shifts each day

Solid Waste Collection

Solid Waste Collection
• Waste is collected from 1100 litre containers by Rotaries and
Compacters with various capacities and from 5000 litre
containers by Hoists.
• Collection schedule is planned and arranged by the environment
protection section in each district according to studies and
assessment in order to find best path and collect all full
containers
• Waste is collected from narrow alleys and areas by 2 ton capacity
compactors
• Loaders and trucks are used to clean empty spaces
• The total number of drivers who work in waste management

is around 234 drivers

Transfer Stations
•
The main benefit of these transfere stations is to
reduce the transportation cost
•
Solid waste is compacted and transferred from the
transfer stations to the landfill in a 12, 24, 36 m3
traillas
•
New locations for other transfer stations will be
suggested in the feasibility study that is currently
being done by the Cabinet Merlin consultants

Recycling : Pilot Projects by
NGOs
• Since 1995 GAM is supporting Jordan
Environment Society (JES) in
implementing the pilot recycling
project, by sending specialized
employees to help in the survey and
the awareness campaign and also in
deputizing workers and vehicles to help
in collecting and separating the
recyclables
18
Supporting private sector
In 2005 The Mayor had signed an
agreement with Al Tadweer Company.
Under this agreement GAM allocated 35
dunoms near Al Ghabawi landfill to
build a dirty MRF (Material Recovery
Facility) with a capacity of 600 ton daily.
In 2008 the MRF is expected to start
working
19
Recycling Projects
• Ministry of Environment and GAM are now in the
planning phase for a joint venture recycling project.
• The main objective for this project is to introduce to
the Jordanian people the separation at source
practice.
• The project will work on the following pivots:
– Awareness campaign which is going to be held by the
Jordan Environment Society. (one of the most active NGOs
in manipulating recycling projects since 1995)
– Preparing the infrastructure for the project. This will be
funded by the government
– Managing the project after implementation is going to be
GAM's responsibility but under the super vision of the
MoEnv.

Executive Privatization
Commission
• GAM has requested a feasibility study of
potential for PPP (public private partnership)
in recycling from the EPC.
• With the help of the EU a recycling project
that serves around 250,000 to 30,000 citizens
is expected to start on 2008
• This project will recover the recyclable that
are going to be separated at source by the
citizens themselves.

Jordan Biogas Company
• This company is situated close to Ruseifa closed landfill
• Biogas plant was constructed by GAM funded by UNDP
and in cooperation with the Electricity Company
• In the first phase of the project (2000–2006) the facility
started to produce 1Mwt/h electricity
• Recently, the facility expanded to produce 3.5 Mwt/h
electricity. And its capacity is around 60 ton daily of
organic waste , poultry waste, and diary factory wastes.
22
Landfill Gas
• GAM received many offers from national and international
companies for utilisation of Ghabawi landfill gas.
• An agreement was signed with the World Bank for an 18 million
dollar loan for lining, leachate drainage network, needed
equipment to extract methane gas from three cells of the landfill
to produce electricity. In addition to capacity development in solid
waste management.
• A feasibility study by Cabinet Merlin and an EIA study by Eco
Consult are being carried out for the World Bank project
• Work is expected to start in beginning of 2008 to extract gas from
