Municipality of Sarandë
Sarandë is a harbour town in southern Albania with around 33,000 inhabitants and an economic focus on tourism. The waste management area covers an area of approx. 59 km². The city administration's public services department is responsible for the city's waste management, alongside other public services. This includes the collection, transport and treatment of solid and domestic waste as well as the street cleaning service. The department has around seven employees, two of whom work directly on waste management. The department contracts a private company to carry out some of the operational work in street cleaning and waste disposal.
Lead partner
Entsorgungsbetriebe Lübeck
Entsorgungsbetriebe Lübeck (EBL) is the municipal environmental service provider in the Hanseatic City of Lübeck. The disposal area covers an area of 214.1 km². Around 650 employees ensure that wastewater is cleaned, that waste is disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner and that streets and squares are clean for around 217,000 residents. In the area of waste disposal, EBL has a mechanical-biological waste treatment plant for the processing and recycling of residual and organic waste and for the production of biogas; a biomass plant for the processing of organic waste and green waste into compost; a landfill site for the storage of untreated waste and for the production of landfill gas as well as three recycling centres.
The Project
The project objective focusses on the separation of recyclable materials (e.g. PET bottles). The revenues should cover the costs of separation. In addition, the aim is to reduce the amount of waste that has to be landfilled or disposed of.
A private company is currently responsible for collecting some of the PET and cardboard packaging. The collection and sale is carried out by the city's own "Resource Centre", which currently employs four people.
Entsorgungsbetriebe Lübeck wants to support the city of Sarandë in improving the collection and processing of recyclable materials.
