What do you think ? is it trash?

Each house produces organic waste, according to data, those produced in each household cover approximately 50% of household waste.

recycling starts from our home!

The first step to start the cycle of recycling is the collection of recyclable materials. We all need to learn to distinguish which materials can be recycled in the blue recycling bins and which cannot.

​

We use the brown bins in our neighborhood to collect organic waste that becomes natural fertilizer (or compost) full of nutrients.

Sorting at the Source

We, the citizens, are asked to separate into categories, in separate boxes, the remains that end up in the waste.

This is how we help, i.e. facilitate the processing of waste.

IT IS IN OUR HAND

Composting is the process of naturally recycling organic materials, turning them into a rich, soil-like organic mixture that is highly nutritious for plants. The product is called compost and it helps the soil retain many nutrients and water, which benefit the plants and reduce the risk of contamination.

Composting is considered a modern way

of recycling.

Based on evidence, it has been measured

that 35% to 40% of household waste can be

recycled using this method.
