Isfahan City Waste Management Organization is an integrated waste management system formed in 2003 under the responsibility of the Urban Services of the Municipality of Isfahan, Iran.[1][2]
Operations
The organization employs 140 people who are tasked with handling Isfahan's approximately 950 tons of daily waste. This includes an estimate of 67 grams per-capita, 15 tons of hospital waste, and 4,000 tons of construction waste.[a]
After processing and separating recyclable items, garbage is divided into two main categories: organic and inorganic waste.
On normal days, Isfahan's garbage is collected every two days.
Recycling
12% of Isfahan's produced waste is recycled. Throughout the city, there are seventy recycling booths and stations.[4][5]
Composting
Isfahan's organic fertilizer factory was established in 1947 by a Swiss organization. The current factory was built in 1968 on a land of about 100 hectares, located in "Zinel Neck", an area in the east of the city.[6]
Sustainability initiatives
The city of Isfahan had planned to reduce the amount of landfill and buried waste by 2020.[7]
