People can call SIGUREC MOBIL by using the SIGUREC smartphone application or calling the number on display; they are instantaneously rewarded with discount vouchers or sums of money. At the end of the campaign, participants can win one of 20 vacuum cleaners.

“If we make an inventory of the things we have at home, we will discover that many of them are out of use. By downloading the app or just by making a call, we can clear the space used by an air conditioning device, a TV set or a coffee machine by using the home collection service, and thus we can be sure that the equipment makes it to the recycling factory Green WEEE in Buzau”, says Anda Stancu, Communication Manager Green Group.

The SIGUREC MOBIL collection service integrates performant systems for waste collection; all trucks are equipped with weighing devices and operate on intelligent software that registers all transactions in real time. Thus, precise and clear data are gathered, like the weight of the collected waste. At the same time, the application registers and monitors collection performances and calculates the CO2 quantity saved by the correct handling of waste.

The main objective of the campaign is the development of a responsible attitude of the general public towards WEEE; by using SIGUREC MOBIL, waste is safely directed to recycling facilities in Romania.
