CORRECT DIFFERENTIATED
WASTE COLLECTION
Alphabetical List
for Correct Differentiated Waste Collection
in the Municipality of Borgo a Mozzano
Prepared by the Zero Waste observatory
of the Municipality of Borgo a Mozzano
ZERO WASTE
The ZERO WASTE project is like a three-legged stool.
Unless each of the legs is solid, it will not stand up.
The three legs are: The Town Council, the company responsible for waste
collection, and citizens.
If the support of even just one of the three legs is missing, the stool will
break and the project will collapse.
TEN STEPS TOWARDS ZERO WASTE
1 - DIFFERENTIATED COLLECTION
2 - DOOR-TO-DOOR COLLECTION
3 - COMPOSTING
4 - RECYCLING
5 - REPAIR AND REUSE CENTRE
6 - WASTE REDUCTION INITIATIVES
7 - ECONOMIC INCENTIVES
8 - SEPARATION OF RESIDUE AND RESEARCH CENTRE
9 - BETTER INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
10 - TEMPORARY DUMP
The Diecimo recycling depot is an area for the collection of household
waste: paper, iron, bulky objects, etc., manned by qualified personnel.
During the transfer of certain types of waste, private users who use their
own transport to come to the recycling depot will accumulate ecopoints on
presentation of their health cards, which will entitle them to a discount on
the variable part of their waste tax, according to an environmental score
earned during the year.
The Diecimo recycling depot has the following timetable:
Tuesday and Saturday from 8.00 to 13.00
Thursday from 8.00 to 13.00 and from 15.00 to 18.00
