Holistic Waste Management Program (HWMP) Municipality of Aglantzia (Nicosia)

The program introduces a variable pricing model where residents are charged based on the amount of non-recycled waste they produce, rather than a fixed fee. This model is designed to motivate households to minimize residual waste and segregate recyclables more effectively. The system includes the distribution of RFID-equipped waste bins that monitor waste levels and composition, facilitating precise billing and providing data to improve waste management strategies.
