Žilina: door-to-door kitchen waste collection: 16.85% less mixed waste in 2 months

A city of 80,000 reshaping how it handles food waste Žilina, one of Slovakia's larger cities, launched door-to-door kitchen waste collection for family homes in January 2025, alongside a new PAYT system and a reformed door-to-door sorted collection system. In the first two months, the city recorded a 16.85% reduction in mixed waste and a 7.7% increase in sorting rates, remarkably fast results for a programme still in its early phase. Where - Žilina, Žilina Region, Slovakia (approximate pin at city centre) How to participate - Žilina residents with family homes: set out your kitchen waste bucket on collection day; contact the city waste service if you haven't received collection instructions yet - Other Slovak cities: contact Priatelia Zeme: SPZ for the full programme design including the combined D2D + PAYT model - Advocates: 16.85% reduction in two months is a strong data point for pitching municipal bio-waste collection to hesitant city councils Source & repost Shared here so you can get inspired or find action already happening near you.

Slovakia: stopping incinerators, building zero waste alternatives

Eight planned incinerators, and the communities fighting them Slovakia has eight planned waste incinerators, but the zero waste movement scored two significant victories in 2024: Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) proceedings were cancelled for two incinerators in Šaľa and Selice (each with a 100,000-tonne annual capacity) and for two chemical recycling facilities in Nováky and Liptovský Mikuláš. Friends of the Earth Slovakia (Priatelia Zeme: SPZ) ran the "Stop Incinerators" campaign, working closely with affected municipalities and local communities. What the campaign involves - Close collaboration with municipalities directly affected by proposed incinerator siting - Legal intervention in EIA processes to block or delay construction approvals - Public education showing that zero waste systems (composting, PAYT, source separation) produce better outcomes than incineration at lower community cost - Political advocacy for Slovakia's national waste strategy to prioritise prevention over burning How to engage - Follow Friends of the Earth Slovakia (Priatelia Zeme: SPZ) for updates on active EIA challenges - Contact your municipal council to ask whether your community is in the path of a proposed incinerator - Share Partizánske's, Košeca's, and Úľany nad Žitavou's results as evidence that source separation and PAYT outperform incineration economically Why it matters Every incinerator built commits a municipality to decades of high-volume waste generation. Slovakia's four cancelled EIAs demonstrate that organised civic advocacy can interrupt the infrastructure pipeline, and that presenting real-world zero waste data to decision-makers works.

Partizánske: kitchen waste from apartment buildings (128 households)

Bucket-to-door bio-waste collection that cut mixed waste by 65% In Partizánske, Friends of the Earth Slovakia piloted direct kitchen waste collection from apartment buildings: small buckets placed at the flat entrance replace the large mixed-waste containers that previously stood outside buildings. 128 households participated; over five months, mixed waste fell by 17.25 tonnes, a 65.17% reduction. By 2024, Partizánske also launched bio-waste collection in family homes, achieving 76.5% household participation in that phase. Where - Partizánske, Trenčín Region, Slovakia (approximate pin at town centre) How to participate - Partizánske residents: contact the municipality to join or expand the kitchen waste collection programme - Other Slovak municipalities: contact Priatelia Zeme: SPZ to replicate the Partizánske model in your own apartment district - Policy advocates: use the 65.17% waste reduction figure in conversations with mayors about the economic case for bio-waste collection over mixed-waste incineration Source & repost Shared here so you can get inspired or find action already happening near you.

Úľany nad Žitavou: kitchen waste in family homes: 75% participation

A village that proved effective bio-waste collection works for family houses too In Úľany nad Žitavou, a village in the Nitra Region, Friends of the Earth Slovakia demonstrated that door-to-door kitchen waste collection is as effective in family homes as it is in apartment buildings. 75% of households participate; the remaining 25% compost at home. Over five months, 17.38 kg of kitchen waste per inhabitant was collected, the separate collection rate reached 65.78%, and mixed waste fell by 10.07 tonnes. Where - Úľany nad Žitavou, Nitra Region, Slovakia (approximate pin at village centre) How to participate - Úľany residents: join the kitchen waste collection programme through the municipality - Neighbouring villages: contact Priatelia Zeme: SPZ for guidance on replicating the programme in low-density rural settings - Slovakia-wide: this model challenges the assumption that village residents "already compost everything", the data shows dedicated collection captures what home composting misses Source & repost Shared here so you can get inspired or find action already happening near you.

Partizánske composting plant: green + kitchen waste → compost for residents

City composting that closes the loop Partizánske's municipal composting plant receives both green garden waste and kitchen bio-waste collected from households, processes it on-site, and sells the resulting compost to residents. Friends of the Earth Slovakia mentors the composting process to ensure quality. The plant completes a local circular loop: residents sort waste → city collects and composts → residents buy finished compost for their gardens. When & where - Partizánske composting facility, Trenčín Region, Slovakia (town periphery; pin at town centre) - Residents can purchase municipal compost during published opening hours, contact the town for current schedule How to participate - Partizánske residents: purchase municipal compost from the town, the proceeds support the ongoing programme - Municipal waste managers across Slovakia: contact Priatelia Zeme: SPZ to get guidance on establishing a similar compost-to-residents sales system - Advocates: use Partizánske as the model case when arguing that composting plants are a better long-term investment than incineration infrastructure Source & repost Shared here so you can get inspired or find action already happening near you.

Košeca: PAYT pilot cuts mixed waste by 4.59 kg per resident

A village that made every household accountable for what it throws away In Košeca, a targeted Pay-As-You-Throw (PAYT) system introduced in 2024 reduced per-capita mixed waste by 4.59 kg, totalling 15.4 tonnes across the whole village. The separate collection rate reached 52.99% and mixed waste per resident fell to 90 kg, well below the Slovak average. The system makes household waste generation visible and financially tangible, motivating residents to reduce and sort. Where - Košeca, Trenčín Region, Slovakia (approximate pin at village centre) How to participate - Košeca residents: engage with the PAYT system, the more accurately you sort, the less you pay; contact the municipality for the current tariff schedule - Slovak municipal administrators: contact Priatelia Zeme: SPZ for the Košeca PAYT design template - National advocates: use the 4.59 kg/capita reduction to demonstrate PAYT impact at the Ministry of Environment Source & repost Shared here so you can get inspired or find action already happening near you.
