Romania, as an EU member state, has the obligation to reach a target of 45% collection of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) by 2020. In this regard, ECOTIC continues its efforts to raise awareness among the population.
"The aim of the campaign is to raise awareness among Galatians about the importance of separate collection of recyclable waste, encouraging them to selectively hand over recyclable waste, especially waste electrical and electronic equipment," said Furtuna Mirela Elena, general manager of Ecosal Public Service Galati.
"Clean Cities" is the ECOTIC campaign that pursues this goal in the urban environment. Together with local public and environmental authorities, ECOTIC has informed and continues to inform residents of dozens of cities across the country about the need to collect WEEE, providing specialized collection points.
