In the framework of the project, brochure will be prepared and printed and every citizen that will receive a composter as well as persons who will attend at the project events will get this brochure. Info days will be implemented where citizens will get their composters and will be trained in their use.

Throughout the implementation of the project activities, municipalities from the two regions will be involved and be part of the processes of training, information about the benefits of composting and partitioning of the composters between citizens.
This project aims to show that protecting the environment is one of the main priorities of the region, the usage of the organic waste in a manner that will not only reduce the pollution, but will improve the quality of the land through the produced organic compost. Raising the public awareness and the example that should be given to the citizens of the region is the main benefit of this project.
