This year, Romania has the obligation to reach a target of 45% collection of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). In this context, ECOTIC continues its efforts to raise awareness among the population in order to hand over WEEE to specialized collection points.
„Recycling Station" it is the ECOTIC campaign that pursues this objective mainly in rural areas. Together with local public and environmental authorities, ECOTIC informs residents of up to fifteen localities in each county visited on the need to collect WEEE and provides a mobile collection point - Caravan ECOTIC - where this waste can be brought and handed over for recycling.
In 2018, the campaign continues in Hunedoara County, with the support of the Ministry of Environment, Hunedoara County Council and ADI Hunedoara. Between March 15-29, 2018, the first stage of the Hunedoara campaign took place, being visited five localities: Gurașada, Dobra, Vețel, Băcia and Călan.
They were collected 9 tons of WEEE, about 3000 visitors handing over for collection 550 used electrical equipment.
Until the end of the Hunedoara campaign, the ECOTIC Caravan will take the Recycling Station to 10 localities in the county.
