The administration of Vulcanesti district came into possession of a garbage truck and 147 cans for solid waste. These were purchased within the project “Optimization of the solid waste management system in Vulcanesti district” that was financed by the National Regional Development Fund. The cost of the project was of 9.5 million lei, IPN has learned from the Ministry of Agriculture and Regional Development.
“Waste management is one of the priorities of the regional development policy and such projects for the local authorities are the most efficient solution at community level,” Secretary of State Dorin Andros said in the handover ceremony.
The project in Vulcanesti district was implemented in compliance with the waste management strategy for 2013-2027. This envisions the creation of eight waste management zones in Moldova. Each zone will be outfitted with a complete waste collection system, transfer and sorting facilities, etc. The feasibility study for Zone 1, which includes Vulcanesti and Ceadir-Lunga districts, was carried out and approved with the assistance of the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ).
