Fatih Municipality aims to promote source separation of packaging waste, reducing landfill waste, and offering economic incentives. It uses mobile waste collection vehicles and Conversion Cards, targeting a 25% increase in recycling and 15% more recycling workshops, fostering zero waste.
Thanks to the project, separate collection of packaging wastes at source, preventing them from mixing with garbage, minimising the loss of time and labour force that will occur with the collection from households, providing economic support, using the existing workforce for the realisation of new projects is intended to be utilised. The transformation of wastes sent to landfill facilities, which are not normally sorted, into market vouchers enables citizens to earn twice.
With the project, both the amount of waste going to landfill is reduced and the waste turns into earnings. The goal is to create zero waste awareness, to reach more people every day and to increase the recycling rate in Fatih district by 25%. It is among the goals to increase the number of recycling workshops we have realised within the scope of the project by 15%.
The primary aim was to raise recycling awareness and increase the amount of recycled waste. For this purpose, the common focus areas of waste collection points were first analysed in order to reach more people. Afterwards, a cost analysis was made. The cost of operating a mobile waste collection vehicle, personnel costs and the costs of the Transformation Card to be given to citizens were analysed. Waste points were determined according to the types of waste collected.
The project initially started with a mobile waste collection vehicle at 12 points. Mass information messages were sent to make citizens aware of our project. Posters and banners were placed at waste collection points. The awareness of the project increased with each passing day and the number of requested points increased. In order to keep up with the demands, Fatih Municipality increased the number of Mobile Waste Collection Vehicles to 3 and the number of waste collection points to 30. In addition, 2 Fixed Waste Collection Centres serve to inhabitants 6 days a week and accept waste.
Fatih Municipality announced the project to citizens through our municipality's website, social media accounts and message system. Afterwards, they announced the location information, working hours and waste type points of Mobile Waste Collection Points on the streets and streets with banners and posters.
The fact that citizens who participated in the project guided their environment and shared their opinions and ideas increased the positive feedback. In order to raise awareness, recycling workshops were held with the citizens who came to Mobile Waste Collection points. They made designs from waste materials.
At the same time, in the last week of each month, a campaign was initiated for both waste points and food gifts for our animal friends. This campaign enabled Fatih's animal-loving citizens to participate in the project.
It has been determined that the awareness about the environment…
