In terms of the implementation of the zero waste application, according to the relevant regulations, wastes will be collected separately and transported to “Atık Geçici Toplama” areas.
Until a new regulation is made or a new procedure is determined due to possible changes in the regulations, the application will be as follows:
- 1- In order to collect the generated waste, collection units will be prepared in a 2-piece form. From these units, paper, metal, glass, and plastic waste that are easy to separate will be thrown into the organic waste bin; household waste will be thrown into the other bin.
- 2- Examples of waste that can be thrown into the organic waste bin; Paper and cardboard boxes (excluding paper cups), newspapers, magazines, books, writing and drawing papers, metal (aluminum) beverage cans, metal (steel) cans, plastic boxes, plastic bottles, glass beverage and food bottles, glass jars, and glass bottles will definitely not contain liquid, if any, they will be emptied and thrown.
- 3- All non-recyclable waste will be thrown into the non-recyclable waste bin; dirty papers, dirty beverage paper cups will be thrown into this bin; paper (paper cups), plastic, and metal elements that cannot be separated from organic waste will be thrown into this bin; waste that may have a smell will be thrown in an appropriate container.
