The first place where waste collection and collection
centers are implemented is in European countries. Afterwards, it became
widespread and used in all countries of the world. The collection of recyclable
wastes contributes to the economy as well as preventing environmental
pollution. Various institutions and organizations carry out various practices
in order to raise awareness of individuals about waste collection. These can be
done in schools, hospitals and various cultural centers, as well as in private
institutions or open to the public.
Waste collection centers are divided into three different
classes. In addition to these classes, there are also mobile waste collection
centers. 1st class waste collection centers are in schools, 2nd class waste
collection centers are in hospitals, and third class waste collection centers
are on the streets.
Waste collection centers are produced from quality
materials. There are areas designed in various ways for the emblems of
municipalities and institutions on the waste collection centers, which are
produced in a structure that can be durable in all seasons. Their bodies are
made of metal material so that they are not affected by moisture and humidity.
They are not easy to carry as they are produced as fixed. For this reason,
crane support is taken when they need to be transported. These centers have six
separate sections for different wastes. Since the inner buckets of these waste collection
centers with automatic lids are wheeled, they are easy to empty.
Waste collection centers should be located in areas that are
easily accessible to everyone. Care should be taken that the wastes do not flow
or leak, and metal or asphalt should be poured on the floor of the area where
it is located. It is necessary to write which types of wastes can be disposed
on the waste boxes and to put symbols expressing them. Precautions must be
taken for waste materials that are at risk of burning. In addition, the people
around the waste collection center should be made aware of this issue.
Mobile waste collection centers are located next to or close
to the waste collection centers in order to recycle mobile devices that are
extremely dangerous to mix with nature and do not disappear on their own. In
addition, there are regions where only metal waste collection centers are
located. All kinds of mobile devices can be thrown into mobile waste collection
centers.
