Isfahan waste management
from Wikipedia

Isfahan City Waste Management Organization is an integrated waste management system formed in 2003 under the responsibility of the Urban Services of the Municipality of Isfahan, Iran.[1][2]

Key Information

Operations

[edit]

The organization employs 140 people who are tasked with handling Isfahan's approximately 950 tons of daily waste. This includes an estimate of 67 grams per-capita, 15 tons of hospital waste, and 4,000 tons of construction waste.[a]

After processing and separating recyclable items, garbage is divided into two main categories: organic and inorganic waste.

On normal days, Isfahan's garbage is collected every two days.

Recycling

[edit]

12% of Isfahan's produced waste is recycled. Throughout the city, there are seventy recycling booths and stations.[4][5]

Composting

[edit]

Isfahan's organic fertilizer factory was established in 1947 by a Swiss organization. The current factory was built in 1968 on a land of about 100 hectares, located in "Zinel Neck", an area in the east of the city.[6]

Sustainability initiatives

[edit]

The city of Isfahan had planned to reduce the amount of landfill and buried waste by 2020.[7]

Programs

[edit]
  • Management Quality Control Laboratory[8]
  • Construction of a theme park for waste management education[9]
  • Obtaining an insurance plan to receive all types of waste
  • Funding a pile turner machine (mixer of waste piles)[10]
