The project partners have implemented the activities according to the schedule.

The current project was mainly designed and implemented to support local authorities from the regions of Edirne and Haskovo /Madzharovo/ establish pre-conditions for development of joint waste management products/services in the feature. Through a balanced approach and combination of investment and soft measures the overall capacity for development and implementation of certain services was obtained. This Common BG-TR Project also illustrates a good area for networking activities.  Madzharovo Municipality  registered its own municipal action and started garbage collection by itself in five villages on the teritory of Madzharovo municipality. The action  helped the municipal officials to use targeted funs not only to pay an external company for the action but to invest in some additional environmental projects for the Municipality. EDIKAB invested in purchase of a  skid steer loader, back-hoe loader and tractor for the Plant.
