Summary
The project aimed to contribute to maintaining the high quality of the border area environment by cooperating in joint initiatives. The project focused on establishing primary waste selection process in 28 schools in Uzice and Tuzla. During the first phase of project activities, project team created and established technical and educational framework for the purpose of project. Purchasing and setting up four-color bins for most generated waste fraction in schools in Bosnia (PET, aluminium and paper and for all other waste) has been implemented in 14 schools in Tuzla. Two PUC’s purchased special vehicles for transporting separated waste from schools to centers for secondary selection in their premises, taking into account the different concepts in the two cities.
