Recycling electrical waste

*Salonta Municipality is involved for the first time in organizing the International Day of Recycling of Electrical Waste, together with the RoRec Association and local collection partners.* The International Day of Recycling of Electrical Waste is an initiative of the WEEE Forum, an international non-profit association of collective organizations of producers of electrical and electronic equipment. The event represents an excellent opportunity to draw consumers' attention to the importance of selective collection of used appliances, in order to increase their reuse, recovery and recycling. In the last 5 years, the rate of production of electrical waste has increased by 21%!
