transfer stations to the landfill in a 12, 24, 36 m3
traillas

suggested in the feasibility study that is currently
being done by the Cabinet Merlin consultants

Recycling : Pilot Projects by NGOs
• Since 1995 GAM is supporting Jordan Environment Society (JES) in implementing the pilot recycling project, by sending specialized employees to help in the survey and the awareness campaign and also in deputizing workers and vehicles to help in collecting and separating the recyclables
19
Supporting private sector
In 2005 The Mayor had signed an agreement with Al Tadweer Company. Under this agreement GAM allocated 35 dunoms near Al Ghabawi landfill to build a dirty MRF (Material Recovery Facility) with a capacity of 600 ton daily. In 2008 the MRF is expected to start working
20
Recycling Projects• Ministry of Environment and GAM are now in the
planning phase for a joint venture recycling project.• The main objective for this project is to introduce to
the Jordanian people the separation at source practice.
• The project will work on the following pivots:– Awareness campaign which is going to be held by the
Jordan Environment Society. (one of the most active NGOs in manipulating recycling projects since 1995)
– Preparing the infrastructure for the project. This will be funded by the government
– Managing the project after implementation is going to be GAM's responsibility but under the super vision of the MoEnv.
21
Executive Privatization Commission
• GAM has requested a feasibility study of potential for PPP (public private partnership) in recycling from the EPC.
• With the help of the EU a recycling project that serves around 250,000 to 30,000 citizens is expected to start on 2008
• This project will recover the recyclable that are going to be separated at source by the citizens themselves.
22
Jordan Biogas Company• This company is situated close to Ruseifa closed landfill
• Biogas plant was constructed by GAM funded by UNDP
and in cooperation with the Electricity Company
• In the first phase of the project (2000–2006) the facility
started to produce 1Mwt/h electricity
• Recently, the facility expanded to produce 3.5 Mwt/h
electricity. And its capacity is around 60 ton daily of
organic waste , poultry waste, and diary factory wastes.
23
Landfill Gas• GAM received many offers from national and international
companies for utilisation of Ghabawi landfill gas.
• An agreement was signed with the World Bank for an 18 million
dollar loan for lining, leachate drainage network, needed
equipment to extract methane gas from three cells of the landfill
to produce electricity. In addition to capacity development in
solid waste management.
• A feasibility study by Cabinet Merlin and an EIA study by Eco
Consult are being carried out for the World Bank project
• Work is expected to start in beginning of 2008 to extract gas from
