"Separate E-waste and protect the environment," was the headline under which yet another regional campaign of the Life+ Slovenia WEEE Campaign »Odločuj!« was successfully completed, this time in the Pomurje region. The e-waste collection and awareness initiative was carried out by ZEOS with the cooperation of one of our important project stakeholders »Saubermacher-Komunala«, local public waste collection provider, and media support of radio »Radio Murski val« which announced the end of the regional campaign on Friday, 12th April.

Altogether 24 schools from the left bank of the river Mura participated in the initiative. With the help of the local community, altogether 18 different municipalities, students and teachers collectively turned-over more than 235 tons of waste electrical appliances and batteries. The result is more than perfect, because the amount collected in just under a month represents almost two-fold the amount of waste electrical and electronic equipment collected by the public service provider Saubermacher-Komunala in the region annually.
