Description

Waste management is one of the key challenges for environmental protection in Poland. In the current legal state it is the municipalities that are responsible for organising this process. The aim of our project is to find out the actual state of municipal waste management in selected municipalities and to support the development of solutions to the diagnosed problems. In cooperation with volunteers, we will carry out citizen monitoring of municipal waste management in 9 municipalities. We will support the selected 4 municipalities in developing adequate waste management systems, using the knowledge and long-term experience of our experts in this field. The process of developing solutions will involve residents (through extractive workshops) and other local stakeholder groups, who will participate in local roundtables. The solutions worked out with the participation of various groups have a chance to improve the condition of the local municipal waste management.A collective report presenting system recommendations will also be created, which will be presented to the public (e.g. through the organisation of a summary conference). We will organise a webinar for NGOs and activists to present the developed model of action and the experience gained. The activities will be accompanied by a multi-channel information campaign.
