Pazardzhik with NORD: a new waste collection system with automated trucks

Pazardzhik begins the phased implementation of the modern waste collection system NORD, accompanied by new containers and automated trucks. The city's mayor, Petar Kulenski, presented the project and shared on his Facebook profile how the system works. According to the mayor, the goal is to make the collection process faster, safer and more efficient for residents.

Two new specialized waste-collection trucks will service the containers, with the entire process automated directly from the driver's cab. This improves the organization of the activities and reduces the risk of incidents.

The phased rollout began as early as February, when Nord-generation containers arrived. The investment includes 380 Nord-type containers with capacities of 2,200 and 3,000 liters, 850 metal containers with a capacity of 1,100 liters, and 3,000 bins with a capacity of 240 liters. In addition to the containers, the rest of the cleaning equipment, including waste-collection trucks, automated sweeping and washing machines, will be put into operation in the shortest possible time. The municipality stated that the project is part of a broader strategy to improve the urban environment and enhance the quality of services.

The Pazardzhik municipality also announced nearly fully electric urban transport after an investment of 4.2 million euros.

A call to residents to dispose of household waste only inside the containers, so as not to hinder automated service and to keep the city clean and orderly. The mayor emphasizes everyone's responsible attitude.
