The Kutaisi municipal government collaborated with three local non-governmental organizations, including Spectri, to revolutionize the waste management system in Kutaisi and provide new services.
Selective collection of waste, recycling waste into secondary products, and composting organic waste was introduced to the community through informational brochures, seminars, lessons for schoolchildren, and local clean-up activities. New containers were strategically placed around the city for the selective collection of paper, plastic and general waste. Special trucks were purchased for transporting waste to the local landfill and secondary product factories.
