Nearly 1.3 million tonnes buried per year

This tonnage includes household and similar waste, green waste and ordinary industrial waste from industrial units.
This structure receives waste collected in the territory of the municipality of Casablanca as well as neighboring municipalities in the provinces of Médiouana and Nouaceur, namely the municipalities of Médiouna, Mejjatia Ouled Taleb, Sidi Hajjaj Oued Hassar, Tit Mellil, Lahraouiyine, as well as as the municipalities falling under the Al Bayda Intercommunal Cooperation Establishment, notably Dar Bouazza, Ouled Saleh, Ouled Azzouz, Bouskoura, and Nouaceur.
Leachate management, one of the holder’s main commitments
In addition to the usual classic commitments relating to the management of this landfill, the holder of this contract is also required to take into consideration all conditions and constraints existing at the landfill site regarding leachate management. It will thus have to ensure pumping leachate towards any outlet, and make a leachate collection network at the upper levels of the lockers with a connection to the drainage network.
On the aspect of leachate treatment, Nabila Rmilimayor of Casablanca, announced on October 7, during the ordinary session of the city council, that 700 m3 are treated daily in a wastewater treatment plant; which made it possible to resolve the problem of nauseating odors from which local residents suffered.
The holder must also carry out, at the end of operation, work to close all saturated lockers (bins 1, 2 and 3, as well as the extension bins).
The CEV, a project that is falling far behind schedule
Remember that this controlled discharge is temporary. It should be rehabilitated and make way for the future landfill and recovery center, a major project which requires an investment of more than 3 billion DH.
This is an ambitious project which has encountered several blockages, particularly relating to land. The Mejjatia Ouled Taleb commune, which currently hosts the controlled landfill, had refused to welcome again a project related to waste, which had blocked the project for months. The file was unblocked by the new wali upon his arrival.
These blockages delayed the project which was to see the light of day after three years of operation of the landfill controlled by SOS NDD, but it still nothing.
The market relating to the realization of this project is still at the stage of the call for tenders, the opening of the bids of which has been postponed at least twice.
“We have received several requests from several large companies who wish to participate in this market. To exclude none, we therefore decided to postpone the opening of bids until November 19“, explains our source at the town.
Rehabilitation of the wild dump: the progress rate of the work reaches almost 50%
Regarding the former wild dump in Casablanca, Nabila Rmili announced, during the ordinary session of the city council, that the rehabilitation project was in progress. “As promised to the citizens of the Mejjatia Ouled Taleb commune, the wild dump is being rehabilitated to be transformed into a garden. The work is at 50% completion”.
“We have planned a site visit in the coming days to see the progress again. The objective is to remove everything that has been detrimental to the environment for several years.”
