The state-owned Waste Management Corporation has taken over the cleaning of Malé, days after the city council warned about the risk of disease because of littering.
Road-sweeping and waste collection was previously done by the housing ministry, which seized trash disposal and collection responsibilities from the city council three years ago.
Environment Minister Thoriq Ibrahim and Housing Minister Dr. Mohamed Muizzu signed an agreement on Thursday for WAMCO to takeover the work.
Environment Minister Thoriq Ibrahim said there would be a crack down on littering.
