Dubai’s Drive for Clean Streets: Over 1,300 Abandoned Vehicles Removed in 2025

 


Dubai continues to strengthen its reputation as one of the cleanest and most well-maintained cities in the world. In the first half of 2025 alone, the Dubai Municipality removed more than 1,300 abandoned vehicles and equipment from across the emirate. This large-scale effort reflects the city’s ongoing mission to safeguard public health, improve safety, and maintain its world-class urban image.

Alongside the removals, officials issued over 6,100 warning notices to vehicle owners across residential, commercial, and industrial zones. These notices serve as a first step, alerting owners about their responsibility to maintain or relocate neglected vehicles before stricter actions are taken.

 

Why Abandoned Vehicles Are a Concern

According to Engineer Saeed Abdul Rahim Safar, Director of the Waste Operations Department at Dubai Municipality, abandoned vehicles pose multiple risks. Left unattended for long periods, these cars and equipment not only spoil the city’s visual appeal but also create safety hazards. They can attract pests, obstruct traffic flow, and even reduce the availability of valuable parking spaces.

Dubai Municipality has dedicated field teams working year-round to identify and remove such vehicles from roadsides, public parking lots, and sandy plots. These teams play a vital role in keeping the city orderly, ensuring that residents and visitors alike experience a clean and welcoming urban environment.

 

Public Cooperation Makes a Difference

One of the standout achievements of 2025 so far has been the strong collaboration between the Municipality and the public. Nearly 78 percent of reported cases of neglected vehicles were resolved successfully, thanks to the active role played by residents in reporting and addressing issues. This partnership highlights the importance of community awareness and civic responsibility in sustaining Dubai’s urban standards.

 

Awareness Campaigns for Residents

To further strengthen this initiative, the Municipality is conducting public awareness campaigns that educate residents on the negative impacts of abandoned vehicles. These campaigns encourage car owners to take simple yet important steps—such as cleaning their vehicles regularly, parking only in designated areas, and using car covers when leaving vehicles unattended.

In particular, owners are reminded to be extra cautious during long holidays or travel periods, as these are peak times when vehicles may appear abandoned.
