With this in mind, in the Municipality of Krško we organise a comprehensive system of waste processing , from collection through to disposal and recycling. Since 2002 we have managed a system to separate out waste paper, glass, plastics and organic waste and to materials that can be recycled, saving on primary material and energy and contributing to a cleaner environment. We now operate 120 units in the Krsko area, known as `ecological islands’, from where we organise the collection of separated waste. More than 30% of all waste in the region is separated and collected in this way. Once processed at the Kostak Waste Collection Centre in Stari Grad the separated waste is transferred to the final user of those raw materials. Organic waste is transformed into compost which is a natural manure. Other waste is transported to a regional waste collection centre, CEROD in Novo mesto.

At Kostak, we not only instigate effective and modern waste management, but we also take care of further generations so that they will be able to live in a healthy and clean environment.
