Waste strategy and waste management service level
Waste strategy
On September 2019, the Regional Waste Management Committee approved a joint waste strategy for the municipalities in the area until 2025. The work was coordinated by the Waste Management Committee and Pirkanmaan Jätehuolto. Representatives of the municipalities, experts, authorities and residents were involved in the work.
The vision of the waste strategy is "the best waste management for the environment and the residents". This vision will be achieved by ensuring the environmental benefits of waste management, taking account of customers and succeeding in waste management cooperation.
The measures presented in the waste strategy are assigned to municipalities, the waste management company and authorities. The Waste Management Committee promotes and monitors the implementation of the measures.
Waste management service level
On December 2024, the Regional Waste Management Committee approved the waste management service level for the period 2025-2029. The service level applies to the waste management services under the municipality's responsibility, i. e. waste management for housing and municipal administrative and service activities.
The service level was defined in cooperation with Pirkanmaan Jätehuolto, the regional waste management authority and the municipalities in the area. Residents were also able to influence the work by responding to a feedback survey and submitting opinions during the decision-making process.
The waste management service level is a shared vision of the principles that will guide municipal waste management in the coming years.
