Selçuklu Municipality produced 3,000 tons of compost in 2023 from 1,314 tons of grass, 1,653 tons of wood chips, and 2,333 tons of organic waste collected from bazaars and vegetable markets.
Selçuklu Municipality, garnering appreciation for its sustainable efforts in environmental and zero-waste practices, continues to create organic fertilizer from the waste collected within its operational area.
After the waste from activities such as mowing grass and pruning trees, especially in marketplaces, is initially collected, organic fertilizer is obtained from the composts produced through subsequent processes.
In collaboration between the Selçuklu Municipality Parks and Gardens Directorate and the Climate Change and Zero Waste Directorate teams, a new record was set by producing 3,000 tons of compost throughout the year.
Selçuklu Mayor Ahmet Pekyatırmacı emphasized that Selçuklu Municipality has opened a significant chapter in environmental and zero-waste initiatives, noting that they are beginning to reap the fruits of successful efforts in this regard.
