460 tons of waste from Fahi Flats, warning of strict action

Fahi Dhiriulhun Corporation (FDC) and Waste Management Corporation (WAMCO) have collaborated to remove and clean up the waste piled at the base of the towers by recipients of the Fahi Flats in Hulhumalé.

In a social media post today, FDC stated that a total of 460 tons of waste has been removed so far from 13 towers constructed under the Aman Dhoadhi project. The company noted that this is equivalent to approximately 27 dump truck loads of waste.

FDC said that this work, carried out with WAMCO to clean the common areas of the 4,000-unit Fahi Flats in Hulhumalé 2, is a crucial effort to establish a clean environment.

Therefore, the company urged the residents of the towers to provide full cooperation for this work and to strictly adhere to the waste disposal guidelines established by FDC.

The video included in FDC's post stated that the responsibility for disposing of large waste items must be borne by the residents themselves. The post also noted that leaving such waste in the garbage rooms and common areas of the towers is prohibited.

The company mentioned that they are working on removing waste piled at the base of 32 towers of the Fahi Flats.

"I would like to state that very strict actions will be taken against those who discard waste later, under FDC's regulations," the video said.

The ground areas of the towers had become heavily cluttered with materials brought by those moving into the Fahi Flats and waste generated from home interior work.

Specifically, boxes for furniture, utensils, ACs, and TVs were piled up in corridors, doorways, and various spots. In some towers, large heaps of waste were even stacked near the lifts.

While complaints and criticism regarding this issue have increased, some residents have stated that it is difficult to constantly dispose of waste while continuous work is ongoing.

FDC's Managing Director Hamdan Shakeel told "Mihaaru News" yesterday that, according to the flat agreements, FDC will only dispose of common household waste and biodegradable items.

The responsibility for disposing of large waste items and waste generated during the move into the flats must be taken by the flat recipients.
