Environmental assessment of the recycling project of Eastern Thessaloniki (43 months of operation) Reduction of waste transported to landfills by 34.120 tn. Saving 648.300 euros from landfill tax (19 euros / tn). Reduction of transportations to landfill up to 9.780 (save fuel, reduce emissions of CO2, improving the ring road traffic) Lengthening of landfill s lifetime (space saving for the deposition of solid wastes produced per year in a city with 91,500 residents) Saving natural resources and energy required to produce 34,120 tons of recycled materials ( from paper recycling reached to avoid felling 480,350 trees) Upgrade of cleaning service Information activities for residents and school students 80 new jobs creation in collection and sorting
