Environmental Concern: Training on Separate Waste Collection in Sozopol
Within the framework of an ambitious project to improve the environmental situation in the Black Sea basin, Sozopol Municipality announces the conduct of one-day training sessions on separate waste collection. The initiative, part of the BSB00027 (Go2Recycling) project for cross-border cooperation, aims to improve recycling and waste management practices.
Our reporter is on the spot, where this important event is expected with great interest. The mood in the city is filled with hope for a cleaner future. People are concerned about the environment, and the opportunity for training seems particularly attractive.

The training sessions will be held in groups of 20 participants, with a duration of one day, combining theoretical lectures with practical exercises.
