Recoverable waste collection schedules 2019



Recycling is an important part of the Centre's activities. The collection and recycling of recyclable waste is one of the centre’s longest-running tasks, providing employment for several long-term unemployed. Recyclable waste is collected from property-specific ecopoints and detached house areas.

Recoverable waste is transported to the Center for Sustainable Development, where it is sorted and transported in larger loads to partners. Gate collection facilitates the recycling of recyclable waste, especially for the elderly and people with reduced mobility living in a detached house area.



About the project 

The aim of the international ESF project is to find new ways of working in Europe to combine long-term unemployment and the circular economy. During the project, the activities of the Let's Try Together Association will be compared with the corresponding actors in Bulgaria, Sweden and other European countries. Develop and discover new operating models together with international partners. Disseminate a well-functioning employment model to other European Union countries. Create a network of international actors and employ the long-term unemployed during the project, either for wage support work, apprenticeship training, internships or as a small entrepreneur.
