Disposal of waste in Tirana, from June also underground bins

“They are containers of two different types, above ground and underground. 12 underground containers at 6 different points and 194 above ground containers. They are metal containers that will be emptied by a tool that will catch them from above. Characteristic is that the tools have an automatic system that sprays enzymes into the container to disinfect it. In this way, they will greatly reduce the bad smell that the containers carry, especially in this city that is very hot “, said the Administrator of Eco Tirana, Diego Testi .

This new way of waste collection that will be initially implemented in some parts of Tirana, requires that a waste be separated before being thrown in the bin.

“The purpose of this project is to start doing exactly the differentiated separation of waste, because the containers are for recyclable and non-recyclable waste. This major technological change is also a cultural challenge. We must learn to use the entrances of the bins and to use well-sealed bags, to fold the cardboard and throw it in its place, so that the bins are used in the best way of their technical capacity “, tha Testi .

Trucks to be used for waste collection cause less pollution in the atmosphere and for the use of which only one employee is needed.

““There will be fewer people to empty the containers, but they will switch to the city wiping service,” he added.

Leaflets will be distributed to citizens and businesses, giving information on how to use the new bins in the capital, and during the first days there will be employees near the container points to guide the residents in the area.
