The Green Truck is expanding to provide a solution for UAE residents and companies to recycle electronic waste. Today, close to 1,500 Green Truck “green bins” have been placed across Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The bins are collected weekly before all the dry recyclables and electronic waste are segregated, sorted, and transported to The Recycling Hub by Enviroserve to be reused. According to a recent report by the World health organization (WHO), E-waste volumes are surging globally. The Global E-waste Statistics Partnership (GESP), claims numbers grew by 21% in the five years running up to 2019, when 53.6 million metric tons of e-waste were generated.

Enviroserve started Green Truck in 2014 in a bid to protect the environment by minimising the harmful impact of e-waste, and is the only company in the UAE endorsed by the Ministry of Environment and certified by UAE municipalities to confidentially destroy, dismantle, and repurpose electronic waste.

“Green Truck has been one of the most successful projects. This is the only initiative in UAE for the household users which segregates ground waste and recycles up to 98%, collected from a donor,” says Enviroserve-UAE CEO, Lyes Yahiaoui. Anyone in the UAE can subscribe to Green Truck; for a private recycling service providing a weekly collection of the bin from their doorstep at
