Objectives and expected results of the project:
In the town of Sveta Nedelja and the municipality of Stupnik 21,794 citizens will be informed (CBS, 2011.) about sustainable waste management, waste prevention, separate collection of municipal waste, home composting and the reuse of items. It is expected that the implementation of educational and information activities will increase the rate of separately collected waste through a new recycling yard, increase the amount of separately collected waste “on your doorstep,” and increase the amount of waste collected on green islands, all of which will result in a reduced quantity of waste in waste yards. Ten activities from the program of educational and information activities on sustainable waste management will be implemented, six of which will be mandatory, along with four recommended activities. The results can be checked via a list of participants in workshops and public forums, the number of distributed materials procured for the implementation of the project, photos, videos, audio recordings, and an approved final report on project implementation, which will include the planned number of educational and information activities. The applicant will publish 10 activities via its web application provided for the submission of data by the local and regional self-government units as part of the Portal for the Prevention of Waste. The results will be measured through an approved final report on the implementation of the project, which will include evidence that information on the implemented activities has been published on the Portal for the prevention of Waste.
