ABU DHABI // If you find snakes, rubbish or discarded furniture dumped in front of your building, villa or even in your neighbourhood, the best option is to file a complaint with the Abu Dhabi Center of Waste Management (CWM).

The centre is authorised to manage all kinds of waste collection as well as pest control.

Omar Al Shoubaki, contract manager at the CWM, urged residents to bring in pest control only from certified companies, asking to see proof of certification before hiring them.

Residents can call the centre at 800 1122 to report snakes, wild animals, or overflowing rubbish bins, Mr Al Shoubaki said.

The response time depends on the kind of complaint. A report of dangerous animals or snakes would prompt a quick response, he said.
