The construction of an installation for separation, composting and preliminary treatment of solid household waste at the old landfill near Asenovgrad has begun.

The first sod was broken today by the mayor of the municipality, Dr. Hristo Grudev, and the mayor of Kuklen, Maria Belcheva.  

The project is financed under the operational program "Environment" 2014-2020.

Its total value is BGN 13,245,456.73.

Of these, BGN 8,360,243.98 are from the European Regional Development Fund.

Asenovgrad's partners in the project are the municipalities of Parvomai, Lucky, Sadovo and Kuklen

"With the implementation of the project, a reduction in the total tonnage and sustainable management of household waste will be guaranteed," said Maria Belcheva.

A system for separate collection of packaging waste will be available in Troyan from next year

She noted that in addition to the environmental benefits, the operation of the installation will save millions of BGN to the municipal treasury in the future by reducing the costs of deductions that the municipality makes for each ton of waste.
