CERREC – Re-use collection days in Tyrol (AT)

In the province of Tyrol actors from waste management and work integrated social enterprises carried out re-use collection days in various municipalities all over Tyrol.

The activities took place from mid-2013 to mid-2014 and covered all main steps within the process of repair and re-use: procurement (through special collection on actions on waste collections sites and housing estates) – preparation for re-use (cleaning, minor repairs,…) – retail (in re-use shops of WISE). In one year of pilot phase in total 43 re-use collections have been carried out – either on waste collection sites or at housing estates (City of Innsbruck). With these actions 104.000 inhabitants have been reached and more than 36.000 kg collected. From collected goods more than 29.500 kg have been brought to shops and could be re-used by citizens again. Pilot actions in Tyrol showed the great potential to reduce waste and create green jobs in the field of re-use.
