Project goals
The main goal of the project is protection of the environment in the urban areas in SWPR, through modernization of the way of collecting solid waste with underground containers and waste selection. Since SWPR is one of the most common destinations for tourists, where during the year, of the total number of tourists in the Republic of Macedonia, about 30% stay there, the generated waste increases significantly. The placement of underground containers has contributed to better public cleanliness and reduced costs for its maintenance, creating a positive impression on tourists and attracting them for a longer period of time. In addition to the platforms and containers, the economic operator adapted the trucks of PMUs so that they could move the platforms and empty the containers.
