Sharjah Buhaira Corniche looks more beautiful than before, because Bee’ah keeps it clean!
When we used to live in Sharjah, Bee’ah recycling stations used to be integral part of our life. We used to recycle paper, plastic, tin regularly & sincerely…thanks to Beeah!
Bee’ah is a Arabic word for environment! The movement Beeah started in emirate of Sharjah for environment is really appreciable.
When you will enter Sharjah specially after Sharjah city center, you will start noticing waste recycling centers by Bee’ah on the side of roads. These recyclers facilitate to store paper, glass, plastic separately. All these segregated waste is collected and send to waste recycling plant based in Al Saj’ah, Sharjah. Bee’ah offers complete waste management. They have range of street cleaning, waste collection & management products under Tandeef services. They also do public awareness by launching some campaigns & arranging seminar.
I visited Bee’ah stand in biodiversity conference, their enthusiastic employees gave me above information & gifted a very beautiful cotton bag. I loved the quote painted on the bag from Bee’ah, “We care, Do you?”
Keep recycling!

Hi Amruta, I used to live in Sharjah too. However i live in Dubai now, and believe it or not, recycling options in Dubai are limited. I make a trip to festival city once in a few months for recycling stuff albeit i dont generate as much these days. And i rarely bring home a plastic bag as i carry my own cloth bags for fruit & veggie weighing counters. Wish we had easily accessible options like Beeah, in Dubai.
I also find it difficult to recycle dead batteries and have an old samsung tablet that doesnt work. But etisalat does not accept e waste for recycling when i checked with them in Jan’17. Do you have any place where you recycle e-waste?
On a different note, i have put in a suggestion at my workplace to work with Jafza/related authorities to have recycling bins installed in our work facility – especially for plastic & e-waste so that employees can bring their stuff for recycling to office. I sincerely hope this works out.
Hi Cheryl, well done for taking such efforts to reduce waste! Such small steps can help to bring the change and spread the word in society through our actions! Keep up the good work and have further read on the blog, especially #ZeroWasteUAE posts, where you can find more information about reducing waste. You can also refer to recycling guide on the top menu, under #ZeroWasteUAE. You need to contact Enviroserve for e-waste recycling. I have been dropping off my dead batteries and e-waste at dedicated box kept at Spinneys. I hope your organization takes efforts to recycle waste. Let me know if they need any professional help with green office policy or zero waste strategy.
Hi Amruta. I have been reading your blogs here from the past few days and really appreciate your efforts towards sustainability! I am really concerned about plastic pollution and have been trying from the past 2 years to reduce/ reuse n recycle plastic in our house and advice family and friends to do the same. The tips you have given in your blogs are very helpful. Thank you and hope to see our earth cleaner and greener soon!
Thank you Orlina! We need more people like you who are trying to understand the impacts of pollution, waste and want to act on it!
