The Algarve Intermunicipal Community signed a protocol with the Environmental Fund, worth 1,2 million euros, which will allow the allocation of financing to Algarve municipalities for investments in projects aimed at increasing the quantity and quality of waste recycling, in particularly biowaste.
«This protocol regulates the terms and conditions, of a technical and financial nature, of the collaboration between the Fund and the Algarve Intermunicipal Community, within the scope of the “RecolhaBio – Support for the implementation of selective bio-waste collection projects”. It is intended that, in the end, municipalities will be able to demonstrate the increase that this support provided in the collection of bio-waste and/or in the increase in the quantities of waste collected selectively», according to AMAL.
The regulation specifically provides for “the financing of projects or initiatives that focus on increasing the capacity of municipalities to ensure the selective collection of urban waste, in particular bio-waste, and must include infrastructure and the acquisition of equipment associated with this service and, simultaneously, raising awareness among users to improve their practices, ultimately promoting the reduction of waste disposal in landfills».
