Averda, a leading waste management company in the Middle East and Africa, is delivering city cleaning services in Ingombota, a major urban district within Angola’s capital city of Luanda.

The five-year contract, awarded recently, sees averda operate in joint venture agreement, under the name Ecoverde, said a statement. 

The scope of work includes waste collection and sweeping, for which avert has introduced a new efficient and environmentally friendly vehicle for mechanical sweeping and automatic bin washing for the first time in the country.

Ingombota covers 10 sq km on the North Eastern coast of the country. It is the political and economic hub of the capital, with more than 160,000 residents.

The population almost doubles during the day as it is home to the country’s Parliament, major banks, hotels, the presidential palace, three European embassies, the central bank, three towers and the headquarters of a multinational company. averda cleans 6,000km of streets in the district per month.
 
MohamedAli Hodeib, chief operating officer for the Levant and Africa, averda, said: “We are happy to be serving the people of Luanda. The stabilisation phase of the operation, debuted in April, is now complete. averda is fully deployed through Ecoverde, having achieved the initial target of bringing the city streets to the desired level of cleanliness, in par with our international standards.

“We are proud to be partners in Luanda’s waste management, its economic growth and with the main stakeholders in the city, its residents and visitors. We are looking forward to inspire a change in practices and to raise awareness of sound waste management.” - TradeArabia News Service
