Door-to-door collection of kitchen green and food waste starts in Szolnok

Judit Borsfay-Horváth said that the program starts in certain parts of condominiums. He added that based on international experience, the quantity and quality of collected food waste can be increased most with the door-to-door system. In this way, the greenhouse gas emissions of landfills can be significantly reduced, the quality of the soil can be improved, and the operational efficiency of the general waste management system can be increased. The MOHU undertook to recycle 65 percent of the total amount of domestic waste by 2040, and to reduce the amount of waste destined for landfill, which is currently extremely high in the country, to below 10 percent, he explained. He called the company’s goal the creation of an efficiently functioning, unified waste management system, which also includes selective waste collection. The company performing concessionary waste management tasks will gradually and continuously introduce door-to-door collection of organic kitchen waste from 2024, he added.
