What happened

Well supportedReported by 7 independent outlets

Syria is implementing a National Solid Waste Management Strategy that aims to transition from emergency responses to a sustainable system. The plan includes closing approximately 1,400 unregulated dumpsites and reviewing Public Cleanliness and Waste Management Law No. 49 of 2004 to improve efficiency in collection, transportation, and treatment. Sanitation equipment, such as waste compactors and street sweepers, has been incorporated into investment plans for 2025 and 2026.
