Bucharest City Council discusses mandatory selective recycling
The selective recycling would focus on two components – recyclable waste, like paper, carton, plastic, PET, glass, aluminum and residual waste. Each district city hall would offer inhabitants in its area special plastic bags and bins for selective recycling.
Bucharest has timidly started a program for selective recycling, which for now includes special bins in major intersections, where inhabitants can bring their selected waste. There is no option however for selective recycling in blocks of flats or even residential house areas, as all waste usually goes into the same large bins.
If this regulation was approved and enforced, Bucharest would join Western European cities that already use mandatory selective recycling and collection.
