A proposal to organise and regulate the licensing of clothing collection containers – amid safety and aesthetic concerns – has been approved by the Southern Municipal Council.
This comes in response to growing public concerns over the unregulated spread of used clothing collection containers across residential neighbourhoods.
The proposal, submitted by councillor Mohammed Darraj, aims to bring order and accountability to a system that, while rooted in charitable work, has increasingly become associated with visual pollution, safety risks and misuse.
The council’s technical committee, chaired by Ahmed Al Abdulla, studied the proposal in detail and recommended its approval based on public appeal and alignment with urban planning laws.
“Our goal is to ensure that charity work is carried out safely, cleanly and within the framework of the law,” said Mr Darraj.
