On May 8, 2026, the city of Casablanca officially launched its new waste landfill and recovery center, a major infrastructure project aimed at modernizing waste management in Morocco's largest city. The facility, located in the commune of MΓ©diouna, is designed to handle up to 1,000 tons of waste per day.
The center includes advanced sorting and recycling units, as well as a controlled landfill area. It is part of a broader national strategy to reduce landfill waste and increase recycling rates, with a target of 20% recycling by 2030. The project was developed in partnership with the French company Suez and the Moroccan government.
Local authorities emphasized that the center will create around 200 direct jobs and improve sanitary conditions in the region. The facility also features a biogas capture system to generate electricity, contributing to renewable energy production.
This initiative addresses long-standing waste management challenges in Casablanca, where informal dumping and pollution have been significant issues. The center is expected to serve the city and surrounding areas for at least 20 years.
