ECOTIC, in partnership with City Hall of Sector 3 si Rosal Group, launched an initiative consisting in the implementation of a WEEE street collection system in Sector 3 of the capital within the project Steps for WEEE. The initiative involves the development of an infrastructure for the collection of waste electrical and electronic equipment
it is small, by placing in the public space and with easy access a number of 15 collection containers.
The project thus responds to a problem identified and confirmed by the recent study conducted by ECOTIC and the United Nations University, namely the faulty habits of Romanians when it comes to giving up small household appliances. We now know that most of these equipments end up in the garbage, a situation harmful both for the environment and for the recycling industry of Romania and the situation of our country in relation to the national targets for WEEE collection and recycling.
Bucharest can be an example of good practice at national level; this partnership at the level of Sector 3 effectively brings to the street red containers, clearly marked and inscribed, located next to the rest of the selective collection containers in Sector 3. Their purpose is to increase the level of awareness and selective collection of small WEEE in the Sector 3 from Bucharest.
We encourage you to look for and use these containers; let your friends and acquaintances know that, from now on, there is a new and handy system to get rid of small electronics. It is an initiative meant to contribute to a Bucharest that the future can find greener, cleaner and more responsible. The containers are located in the following locations:
- 1 Decembrie Street, intersection with Bicaz Dam
- 1 Decembrie Street, intersection with Laceni
- 1 Decembrie Street, intersection with Postavarului
- Nicolae Grigorescu Street, intersection with Burdujeni
