USAID’s Recycling Matters Activity and Ekologija join forces for recyclable waste management in Gračanica

31.10.2024

News! USAID’s Recycling Matters Activity joined forces with Ekologija, Gračanica’s municipal waste management company, to advance a sustainable recyclable waste collection system. As part of this initiative, Ekologija will receive a Utility Truck and is planning to hire informal waste collectors from the Roma, Ashkali, and Egyptian communities, integrating them into the formal waste management system.

In the coming weeks, we’ll finalize route mapping, identify collection points, and conduct a cost analysis for expenses like fuel, labor, and maintenance. Together, we’re building a financially sustainable and inclusive recycling model that strengthens community engagement. Stay tuned for updates on this impactful collaboration!
