Three New Partnerships with Municipalities, launched at the End of the Year
The RoRec Association launched in November and December three new partnerships with the Municipalities of Barcanesti, Gaesti and Sercaia, for the development of drop off centers, part of the RoRec National Network of WEEE Drop off Centers.
The actions were sustained by WEEE collection campaigns in the areas assigned to the three new centers; the total quantity collected being over 13,000 kilos of equipments. The citizens' response to the impulse given by the organizers was enthusiastic. The participation was so numerous that the program of the drop off points was expanded in some locations, in order to manage all the deponents’ requirements: over 600 in Sercaia, almost 350 in Barcanesti and 230 in Gaesti.
“The collection process depends on two important factors: the creation of the necessary infrastructure dedicated to selective collection (drop off centers built according to environmental standards) and then the information and awareness of the public, with the aim of determining citizens to use this service. And our role is to provide a true support to local authorities, given RoRec’s experience in terms of WEEE collection and delivery to recycling companies. The wide participation of the citizens in our collection actions proves these centers are absolutely necessary in any community”, declared Florin Popa, Manager of RoRec Drop off Centers.
Albastros, Arctic and Black & Decker are companies and RoRec members who supported these three new partnerships, offering prizes to the deponents.
