Description
The objective of the project is to promote the diversion of the stream of hazardous waste generated by households from municipal waste to permitted hazardous waste management facilities for appropriate treatment. This will be achieved through awareness-raising on prevention, re-use and recycling of hazardous waste and increased availability of proper waste collection and handling. The project will provide the necessary equipment for establishing four mobile green units that will collect and manage hazardous waste from municipalities and communities (such as electrical and electronic equipment, batteries, ink cartridges, paints, solvents, lamps, pharmaceuticals etc.).
Main activities shall include:
- purchase of equipment (e.g. mobile units);
- various awareness-raising actions at a national and local level on waste managment;
- collection and channelling hazardous waste to permitted facilities.
