Waste sorting

Awareness-raising campaign on the issue of sorted waste collection in the Port of Taranto.

As is known, the port has started separate collection of waste such as paper, glass and plastic by placing 30 bins in order to improve environmental conditions in the port area. A specific bin for aluminium waste was also placed at Quay 1.

The Port Authority's aim is to increase the percentage of sorted waste collection by getting all port users involved in improving port conditions and reducing the amount of unsorted waste.

To this end, please note that it is possible to collect an information brochure from the Port Authority on how to carry out sorted waste collection in the port, indicating the location of bins for the separate collection of glass, paper and cardboard, plastic and aluminium, which can also be downloaded here.

Each bin is colour-coded, making it easier for users to identify the type of bin and the right means of disposal.

In order to further improve the waste collection service in the port area, port users and occasional visitors are invited to use these bins.

In order to ensure that all users participate in protecting the environment in which they work, we also encourage them to report any problems and/or inefficiencies and to make any suggestions for improvements in order to enhance the existing service in the interest of the Port of Taranto.
