How does recycling work at DubaiWaste.com / Navyom Waste Collection?
Process
Materials are collected, weighed, dismantled, and sorted at our facility. Each stream (e‑waste, metal, plastics, paper, glass, textiles) is stored in labeled containers and transferred to approved reprocessors in the UAE and abroad.
What materials can be recycled in Dubai?
Accepted Items
Common streams include:
  • E‑waste (computers, laptops, phones, printers)
  • Metals (steel, aluminum, copper, brass)
  • Plastics (PET, HDPE, PP), paper & cardboard
  • Glass bottles and jars
  • Textile & fabric offcuts
Note: Food/organic waste isn’t processed in‑house; we can route to approved partners.
Can personal care and cosmetic products be recycled?
Cosmetics
The contents are often not recyclable, but the packaging usually is. We separate product contents from plastic, glass, paper, or metal containers and send each to the appropriate recycling stream.
