The first phase of the Győr Macro-regional waste management major project completed and was handed over on December 7.
The National Development Agency received approval from Brussels on November 17 2009 for a major project called "Setting up a municipal solid waste management system at the site managed by the Győr Macro-regional Waste Management Local Government Association." The first phase of the development includes the construction of the dump site and the complex waste treatment plant in Győr-Sashegy.
The project approved by Brussels aims at creating an integrated waste management system in the Central and Western Transdanubian region and introducing a selective waste collection system for recyclable material and biologically decomposing waste materials.
The major project costing a total of HUF 9.5 billion to be implemented with the help of EU funding amounting to HUF 6.5 billion will improve the quality of life of a total of 260,000 residents in 112 settlements of Győr-Moson-Sopron County, Komárom-Esztergom County and Veszprém County by treating an average volume of municipal solid waste of 130,000 tons per year.
