How many times have you been left deeply upset after seeing waste management workers struggle to get on with their jobs during the unforgiving Doha mornings?

The Ministry of Municipality and Environment (MME) certainly took note and their Public Cleaning Department has come up with a solution to the problem — shaded cleaning trollies.

The initiative, which is meant to protect cleaners from the sun during peak summer time, is a first-of-its-kind project and has been met with a lot of applause, reported Gulf Times.

It is understood that the new trollies will start to be used from this week at all the commercial streets of the country.

The trollies, made from high quality plastic, are also lighter and hence will help workers complete their duties faster and more easily, reported The Peninsula.

General Cleanness Department Director Safar Mubarak Al Shafi said the ministry was keen to develop and improve its services, especially those related to workers.

“The number of trolleys is enough to cover all commercial streets and even some specific residential areas. The trolleys will be distributed starting today and by next week, it’ll be available at all commercial streets,” he said.

Al Gharafa Central Municipal Council member Mubarak Farish hailed the initiative.

“We appreciate this initiative because it’s a human-interest initiative. It means our leaders are giving priority to workers. Authorities can improve the situation even further by making their working hours in the evening, instead of morning,” said Farish.
