This document discusses separate waste collection and recycling. It distinguishes between different colored bins for separating glass, organics, unrecoverable waste, plastics and metals, and paper. Other types of waste like batteries, expired drugs, garden waste, electronics, bulky items, rubble, and waste oils can be collected separately at ecological stations or picked up from homes. The document also mentions how solar photovoltaic panels and solar thermal energy have been installed to produce clean energy from renewable sources.

1. Separate collection of waste
• Collecting the waste is useful to reduce the
amount of that destined to disposals and to
get new resources. The collection must be
developed with care and continuity, so as to
recycle important materials, to produce heat
or electricity.
• We distinguish between::
• Green Islands
• Other types of waste collection

2. Green Island
■ GREEN BINS
■ BROWN BINS
■ GREY BINS
■ YELLOW BINS
■ BLUE BINS

3. GREEN BINS
Here you throw
glass, such as
bottles, glasses ...
The energy needed
to do this is less than
the energy needed to
make new glass
from raw materials.

4. BROWN BINS
Here you throw the organic
waste such as food, leaves ...

5. GREY BIN
Here you throw
unrecoverable waste ...

6. YELLOW BINS
Here you throw
plastic packaging,
steel and aluminum,
like cans, plastic
bottles…

7. BLUE BINS
Here you throw paper, such as
newspapers, magazines,
pamphlets, cardboard
containers ... However, paper
can only be recycled a few
times, but then it can be used
as a fuel or compost instead.

8. Other types of waste collection
BATTERIES: can be put
into containers placed in
front of shops or in the
Ecological Station.
EXPIRED DRUGS: may
be placed into containers
placed in front of the
pharmacy or in the
Ecological Station.

9. GARDEN WASTE:
waste, such as pruning,
will be picked up at his
home.
ELECTRICALAND
ELECTRONIC
EQUIPMENT: The
collection service is
carried out at the
Ecological Station.

10. BULKY WASTE:
Bulky will be picked
up at one’s home.
RUBBLE AND
INERT
MATERIALS
WASTE OILS: Frying oils
and mineral oils can result in
exhaustion Ecological

11. Clean energy
In recent times some innovative technologies
have been installed to produce clean energy:
Solar photovoltaic panels
Solar thermal energy

12. Solar photovoltaic panels
In recent times… in Santarcangelo were installed
photovoltaic systems over the roofs of new
homes, in order to produce clean energy…

13. Solar thermal energy
Solar thermal energy is the use of solar panels to
avoid the consumption of fossil fuels such as
diesel, propane or natural gas.
