The Project aims to develop a more efficient, cohesive waste collection system by incorporating the Municipality of Fushe Kosove/Kosovo Polje, the informal waste collectors and individual private entities, the private companies, and public enterprises to create a synchronized and sustainable recycling model in the target municipality. The activities encourage public participation in recycling initiatives while ensuring that informal waste collectors are part of the waste collection sector as it continues to expand. Through this intervention approach, the Project rests on the situation on the ground. It establishes a viable, implementable, and self-sustainable model based on local actors’ needs and interests. The Project aims to conduct a thorough and comprehensive consultation, research, and assessment in the initial phase and work with the Municipality and informal waste collectors to determine the exact nature of their relationship.
