Measures to improve the waste management within the municipalities of Ruse, Tutrakan, Slivo Pole and Vetovo

About this project

<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif">The municipalities of Ruse, Tutrakan, Slivo Pole and Vetovo aim to improve their waste management systems by establishing specific recycling models. Based on a study on the consumption patterns of the population, the local authorities will launch waste collection and recycling systems for the following type of waste: from construction work (through open asymmetric Skip-lift Containers), waste in administrative buildings (by installing bins for separate collection), biodegradable waste (through equipment and containers for plants and wood) and waste recycling through mobile centres (where all types of generated household waste will be collected and sorted in separate containers).</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif">The project will help the municipalities to increase the share of recycled waste by 10.5% and will help their citizens to learn new ways to create sustainable solutions within their communities.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif">The project activities include the delivery and installation of mobile centres for separate waste collection in the Municipality of Ruse and the Municipality of Vetovo for almost all types of waste generated in one household will be transferred to them- paper, plastic, glass, metals, grease, electrical and electronic equipment, hazardous household waste and others in various containers. Another initiative is the delivery of containers for construction waste for the Municipality of Ruse and the chain mini jaw crushing machine for Tutrakan Municipality which will also contribute to prevent the generation of waste.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif">The information and publicity of the project is another key element.
