Angren pioneers recyclable waste purchase scheme with 'Zero Waste' project

The collection point has separate containers for sorting waste. There are designated white bags for recyclable waste, black bags for non-recyclable waste, and brown bags for food waste.

This collection point is the first in the republic to implement an experience of purchasing recyclable waste from the population. Specifically, the population will be paid 1500 UZS for a white bag and 500 UZS for a brown bag. Additionally, a small trade booth has been opened, where residents can buy necessary items with the money they received for the waste.

"It should be noted that for the construction of the waste collection point, mainly containers intended for transporting waste, glass containers, and other materials that are disposed of as waste were used. Solar panels were installed to provide electricity. The booth is equipped with all the necessary conditions for workers' accommodation and labor," the report states.
