Reggio Emilia Municipality<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reggio Emilia is a medium sized city (about 170.000 inhabitants) in northern Italy, in Emilia Romagna region. The Municipality of Reggio Emilia, to manage its municipal waste, has created its own model in order to increase the recycling of materials, to reduce the use of disposal and to reduce the amount of waste produced.
\nThe “Reggio model” comes from past experiences and needs of citizens while respecting the urban and architectural characteristics of the city. From 2004 to 2010, the percentage of recycling has increased from 43.4% to 56.4%, with a target of 65% at provincial level by 2012 and 67% by 2015.
\nThe Municipality of Reggio Emilia has activated at the same time other projects, including:
\n– Green Public Procurement, co-funded by the Ministry of Environment in 2004, to introduce when purchasing goods and services, criteria aiming at reducing environmental impacts;
\n– REMIDA creative recycling center, where the waste, in addition to being disposed, may also be processed; the project was born in Reggio Emilia in 1996 and is now exported in various Italian and international cities, to promote the idea that production wastes can be resources;
\n– “Reggio Raccogli Ecologico”, the new waste collection system planned for the sites designated for recreational activities, sports and meeting, the project involves 24 community centers, 9 sports centers and major shopping centers;
\n– “La Spesa Verde”, eco-label awarded to stores that implement best practices for sustainability at the local level; the main stores of Conad, Coop Consumatori Nordest and Realco participate in the project;
\n– coordination of the national working group “Rifiuti 21 Network”, with the objective of studying the best practices for reducing waste upstream, creating a network for knowledge and experiences exchanging, developing additional new sustainable management practices in the field of collection and waste separation;
\n– joining the “European Week for Waste Reduction”, organized annually, by activating together with local multi-utility IREN new services (eg water in jug, composting in schools, houses of water, …).
\nFinally, the Municipality of Reggio Emilia has participated as beneficiary coordinator to the LIFE 07 project “LAKS – Local Accountability for Kyoto Goals”\u00a0 (www.municipio.re.it\/laks<\/a>) and is participating as associated beneficiary in the LIFE 09 project “RELS – Innovative chain for energy recovery from waste in the national parks” (www.life-rels.eu<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Trento Municipality<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Municipality of Trento, the capital of Trentino-Alto Adige Autonomous Region, counts 116,875 inhabitants (31.12.2011).
\nIts territory is divided into 12 territorial districts, decentralization bodies that promote the direct participation of citizens.
\nThe Environmental Service of the Municipality of Trento has been involved for years in improving waste recycling, waste reduction and in raising awareness of citizens on this topic.
\nThe project aiming at extending to the entire city the innovative collection system “door to door” started in 2007.
\nCurrently the whole city, except the old town centre area with traffic limitations, is covered by this new collection system.
\nThe main objective of the Administration was to empower citizens and consumers in managing their waste to increase recycling, both qualitatively and quantitatively.
\nThe dumpsters were then removed from the public areas, where waste were often abandoned becoming urban decay areas, to opt for containers for single family or single user.
\nBy 2012 even the old town centre, which has special urban characteristics and therefore has required a specific planning, will be served by “door to door” system.
\nIn areas of the city already involved in the project, waste separated collection has reached 70%, one of the best data in Italy with regard to provincial capitals.
\nThe commitment of the Administration in waste reduction is also remarkable and there are various initiatives:
\n– signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with mass retailers to reduce waste in the dealers;
\n– creating groups of “eco-volunteers” citizens for a continuous permanent awareness campaign in the area;
\n– encouraging the adoption of home composting,
\n– organizing\u00a0 \u201cparty of reuse\u201d to encourage citizens to trade usable goods;
\n– organizing virtuous initiatives within the Administration such as green procurement, projects to reduce paper use and encouragement of web bureaucracy;
\n– organizing waste separate collection in all city schools;
\n– organizing awareness campaigns on the issue of waste\u00a0 addressed to students and teachers;
\n– organizing information meetings for citizens about the collection system and the different types of waste.<\/p>\n
