SEPARATE WASTE COLLECTION
The projects of separate collection of recyclable waste and removal of harmful and hazardous waste are a part of the Comprehensive Waste Management System in the City of Zagreb.  Separate collection was introduced as early as in 1988 for some types of waste. Nowadays this and many similar projects are a regular and very well accepted utility service standard in Zagreb. City Waste Disposal has a total of about 6,000 recycling bins set up in public areas for separate collection of paper and cardboard, glass, plastic and metal packaging, textile, and biodegradable waste, plus nine recycling centres that collect twenty different types of waste from households.
