Waste sorting is also possible in rural areas thanks to an EU project

Sorting of waste is also possible in the villages. For 14 months, in the village of Sărata Veche in Falesti district, as well as in the village of Noua Suliţă, in the Chernivtsi region of Ukraine, it was implemented the cross-border project "Step by step towards separate collection of solid waste" co-financed by the European Union. The mayors of the two localities are delighted with the results of this project, because people have learned to contribute to maintaining cleanliness, Moldova 1 reports.

The project provided for the provision of the two localities with more than 2,500 bins and over 6,000 bags for waste collection.

"The villagers got the bins, they got bags, we did a lot of investigations, round tables, we organized interesting activities with children from schools, kindergartens which hopefully will lead to the formation of environmental consciousness and will help solve the problems related to waste collection," mentioned Maria Nikorych, the mayor of Nusa Sulita in Ukraine

"We agreed that every citizen in his household would collect selectively his waste, paper separately, glass, special plastic and household waste apart. Sărata Veche commune benefits from 750 bins that we distributed to the local households, plus we have sacks that we distribute to the citizens to collect the plastic, the bottle and the paper in these bags and then collect them separately," said Galis Maria, the mayor of Sărata Veche from Falesti district.

At present, the project in Sărata Veche is unique in the country, but its expansion is planned in several localities.

"It has to be slightly adapted to the situation in the localities of the Republic of Moldova, ie it depends on the geographical location, so the infrastructure that exists, such as the streets and so on, but in principle it can be extended to any locality of the Republic of Moldova," mentioned Victor Cotruta, expert in the project.

The project involved costs of about 300 thousand euros, most of which came from European funds.
