YOU TOO CAN BENEFIT

The program aims to reward the environmentally conscious citizens who follow the reduce-reuse- recycle moto.

Citizens who apply the above are expected to have a significant reduction in the cost they pay for waste. Inevitably, citizens who are not sensitized will have to pay higher costs.

An average household applying the system is not expected to need more than a purple 56 litres bag per week resulting to a  total expected annual cost of € 104.

It is expected that households with fewer residents and / or with full implementation of the reduce-reuse- recycle philosophy will pay even less.

LEARN FROM THE MUNICIPALITY HOW A TOWN CAN MOVE TO HOLISTIC WASTE MANAGEMENT

The Holistic Waste Management Program is a rational method of waste management that aims to link waste generation to billing. That is, to implement the European Polluter Pays Directive.

The program provides the public with increased recycling opportunities as waste that can now be separated and recycled increases significantly.
