Waste sorting in a park environment

A key to cleaner and more sustainable outdoor environments

Recycling in parks and public spaces is an important part of sustainable urban development. By managing waste in an efficient and environmentally friendly way, we can reduce littering, promote recycling and create a sense of well-being for all who visit our green spaces.

Why is recycling important in parks?

Parks are popular gathering places for people, which means that large amounts of waste are generated daily. By implementing efficient waste sorting solutions, we can: 

  • Reduce the amount of waste going to landfill.
  • Promote the recycling of materials such as plastic, paper and metal.
  • Protecting nature and reducing environmental impacts.
  • Create a more pleasant and clean environment for all visitors.

Different types of waste in park environments

Common waste fractions in parks

Parks have a wide range of waste types that need to be sorted correctly:

  • Plastic waste: Bottles, packaging and plastic bags.
  • Metal: Aluminum cans and foil.
  • Paper and cardboard: napkins, food wrappers and flyers.
  • Food waste: leftover food and organic waste from picnics.
  • Residual waste: Mixed waste that cannot be recycled.

Challenges of waste management in public spaces

One of the biggest challenges in parks is that waste often ends up in the wrong place. This is because:

1. Unclear labeling of waste bins
2. lack of easily accessible waste sorting stations.
3. improper handling of waste by park visitors. 

Practical solutions for recycling in park environments

Strategic location of waste sorting stations

Place recycling stations in strategic locations such as:

  • Entrances and exits to the park.
  • Close to picnic areas, benches and playgrounds.
  • On footpaths and cycle lanes.

Clear labeling and instructions

To make it easier for park visitors:

  • Use color codes and clear icons for different waste fractions.
  • Put up signs with short instructions in several languages.
  • Inform about the environmental benefits of proper waste sorting.
