Waste Management in Tunisia

Post new topic

Cheryl

Hello everyone,

As an expat in Tunisia, waste management can often pose challenges and requires an understanding of local standards and regulations. Understanding local practices is essential for environmental compliance and seamless integration into daily life.

Here are some points to share your experience:

How can you learn about waste management in Tunisia (types of waste collected, sorting, collection days, recycling, bulky items, etc.)? Do local authorities provide information on waste management to newcomers?

What are the main differences you've noticed compared to your home country in terms of waste management? How have you adapted?

Are there recycling programs, composting initiatives, or other eco-friendly alternatives to reduce waste in Tunisia? What personal initiatives can be implemented?

How are hazardous waste items such as batteries, household chemicals, or electronic equipment managed?

What actions are taken to encourage compliance with regulations (rewards, penalties, taxes, etc.)?

If you have any other relevant information to share about waste management, please do not hesitate!

Thank you for your contribution.

Good morning

what is the question? I do not understand


I know the situation in Italy regarding waste very well. (it was my job as a consultant and plant manager)

I live in Hammamet and I only see a poor undifferentiated waste collection.

Sewerage systems for sewage are also non-existent, as are domestic wastewater purification systems
