Muscat: Disposing of dead animals? Surely, there must be more responsible methods for managing such waste!
Addressing this issue as a significant concern, the Mussanah Municipality has released a statement highlighting the environmental risks posed by dead animals. The statement offers guidance to the community on preventing such occurrences, emphasizing proper disposal methods, refraining from leaving carcasses by the roadside, and promptly reporting them to authorities for safe disposal.
To facilitate the proper disposal of dead animals, the be'ah Company has established a dedicated hotline, 1881, which offers free service for reporting and disposing of various types of deceased animals. However, the service does not cover cases where animals are found dead on roadsides or in public places due to illegal activity. It's worth noting that be'ah transfers dead animals placed near containers, following the guidelines of the Waste Collection Programme.
One of the negative issues that be'ah is currently addressing in Al Batinah North Governorate is the widespread phenomenon of disposing dead animals on public roads, side streets, and even in densely populated areas. This problem has escalated over time and has become particularly prevalent in various areas across the region. It's puzzling why individuals who discard animal carcasses expect them to be promptly removed by cleaning crews. Perhaps they underestimate the enormous workload faced by the competent authorities, which extends from early morning to late at night. The focus of these authorities is primarily on general cleanliness and not specifically on monitoring sites where dead animals are dumped.
Naif al Nasri, a resident of Mussanah, observed that this issue has become increasingly problematic throughout Oman, especially in Mussanah, leading to numerous roadside accidents and making main roads hazardous and difficult to navigate due to the presence of dead animals.
In addressing this issue, al Nasri suggested contacting local authorities to properly dispose of dead animals, thereby ensuring the safety of main roads.
Abdulrahaman al Nasri, a student at Mazoon College, also encountered a similar situation while commuting home from work. He came across a dead dog lying on the road, highlighting the lack of urgency and responsibility in removing such carcasses from public spaces.
To mitigate this problem, be'ah Organization has initiated a campaign to collect and transfer all dead animals from roads to the relevant authorities for proper disposal.
