Sector 3 has increased the collection of recyclable waste from 1,000 to 4,000 tons per month in six months, demonstrating the effectiveness of an integrated strategy.

In Sector 3, the collection of recyclable waste increased from 1,000 tons per month in June 2025 to nearly 4,000 tons in December 2025, a fourfold increase. In January 2026, out of a total of 9,739.86 tons of waste collected, approximately 4,000 tons were recyclable. This development occurs in the national context, where Romania recycles only 13-14% of municipal waste, below the European average of 49%. The strategy of Sector 3 included campaigns to educate citizens, improving collection infrastructure, and applying penalties for non-compliance with the rules. Mayor Robert Negoiță emphasized that the goal is to achieve a 60% rate of recyclable waste, a threshold that would place Sector 3 at the top of the national ranking and above the European average, demonstrating that change is possible through administrative will and investment.
