Adem Demir, Director of Sanitation Services, and Sevda Erdoğmuş, Director of Environmental Protection and Control, from Alanya Municipality, attended the weekly board meeting of the Alanya Tourism Operators Association (ALTİD). They discussed recycling, zero waste, the collection of batteries, and electronic waste with the board members. Demir and Erdoğmuş expressed the challenges faced by the municipal teams in waste collection and discussed with the board members the need for hotels to establish waste collection areas according to their capacity and to improve the efficiency of existing areas.
Adem Demir stated that engineers from the Alanya Municipality will conduct on-site inspections and organize activities for hotels with limited capacity to create waste collection areas. "The physical conditions of all businesses vary in this regard. Within the existing conditions, our teams will work together to find solutions and support our businesses. We want to cooperate with businesses regarding the collection of waste. With the activities we will carry out, we will also continue our inspections from the beginning of the new year."
Burhan Sili, Chairman of the Alanya Tourism Operators Association (ALTİD), made a statement regarding the matter: "As ALTİD, in order to support our municipality, we will announce this issue to all our members. It is very important to consider the warnings and suggestions made by the municipal officials. Otherwise, they may face both penalties and a situation where garbage collection is not provided."
