Aqaba, Sept. 15 (Petra) -- Aqaba authorities are stepping up waste management and environmental awareness at the city’s logistics yards, which handle between 3,500 and 4,000 trucks each day.

An environmental campaign targeting truck drivers and other yard users is focusing on proper waste disposal, facility cleanliness and day-to-day practices suited to the high volume of logistics activity.

The initiative is being carried out by the Aqaba Transport and Logistics Services Company in cooperation with the Ministry of Environment and the Environment and Public Safety Directorate at the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA).

ASEZA Assistant Commissioner for Investment Muhannad Al-Maaytah said the intensity of daily truck movements requires sustained environmental measures to maintain clean and safe logistics facilities.

He said cooperation among the relevant agencies is essential to turn environmental awareness into practical behavior and maintain a cleaner and safer operating environment.

As part of the campaign, drivers received guidance on proper waste handling and were provided with environmental bags, while teams carried out waste collection across the logistics yards.

Aqaba Transport and Logistics Services Company CEO Khaled Morsi participated in the campaign alongside representatives of the Ministry of Environment, ASEZA’s Environment and Public Safety Directorate and Maqta Ayla Digital Solutions.
