The Muğla Metropolitan Municipality monitors 3,212 construction waste trucks operating throughout the province 24/7 using a satellite tracking system. Vehicles are permitted to dump waste only at 10 designated official dumping sites, thereby preventing illegal dumping.
To date, 9,880,000 cubic meters of construction waste—and 730,000 cubic meters in the past year alone—have been disposed of without harming the environment and incorporated into recycling processes.
Metropolitan Mayor Ahmet Aras emphasized the importance of the initiative, stating, “Our goal is to prevent environmental pollution and ensure our citizens can lead healthy lives. We will not allow any vehicle to harm nature, and we will continue our efforts with determination, guided by this awareness.”
