Oradea has implemented selective waste collection in five fractions. By selective collection in five fractions, the citizens of Oradea show their responsibility towards the environment. Implicit in this is responsibility for what our children’s future will look like.

Through selective waste collection, we offer the possibility of reintroducing waste into the economic cycle through rapid recovery. At the same time, we avoid desolate landfills. We avoid higher waste management costs and therefore avoid fines and penalties. Both at the individual and societal level.
