Jeddah Municipality cleared 270 unauthorized stalls and destroyed 1.3 tons of used clothes in a major campaign in the southern Al-Khumrah district.
The Jeddah Municipality recently conducted a major operation to remove unauthorized street stalls and dispose of discarded clothing within the southern Al-Khumrah district. This campaign resulted in the elimination of 270 illegal stalls and the destruction of 1.3 tons of used garments.
The authorities targeted areas where unlicensed stalls had been established, as identified through inspection teams. Following the operation, 11 tons of confiscated goods were transported to a landfill, while the area underwent thorough cleaning and restoration.
The Sub-Municipalities Agency revealed that the initiative was launched after detecting organized illegal sales of used clothing in the region. Field teams carried out the removals and managed the seized items in compliance with official protocols. Some violators were apprehended during the campaign, and legal actions were taken against them to deter the recurrence or relocation of such illicit activities.
The campaign was carried out in collaboration with relevant municipal departments and other authorities, encompassing monitoring, enforcement, removal, and site rehabilitation efforts. Jeddah Municipality reaffirmed its commitment to conducting ongoing inspection campaigns to identify unauthorized sales locations and enforce necessary actions, with the goal of enhancing the urban landscape and improving overall compliance throughout the city.
