It was such an amazing experience observing about fully automatic recycling system.Recycling is getting more and more important in our lives and for our environment as well.
ISTAÇ /conducts international consulting service projects successfully through its more than 60 competent specialists and engineers by evaluating environmental problems holistically and conveys technical know-how and experience required in waste management in public and private sectors, by domestic and international consulting projects.
Environment Control Center Monitoring
Sweeping and washing of the arteries and squares are realized by vehicles equipped with the latest technology, and that are transiently traceable by Waste Management Environment Control Center. The city is monitored by cameras through Environment Control Center, and cleaning needs emerged are managed centrally.
7/24 City Cleaning
Through all staff, mechanical vehicles and equipment they try making Istanbul to be a cleaner city. Cleaning vehicles and teams work at both sides of Istanbul studiously. For this purpose squares, areas, tunnels and barriers are washed by specially designed vehicles; also, hard to reach canals, sidewalks, spaces, overpasses mobile teams make cleaning manually.
Latest Technology Equipment
Washing and sweeping of arteries and squares are realized by vehicles equipped with the latest technology, and that are transiently traceable by Waste Management Environment Control Center. While working by environmentally-conscious, lower noised and lower emitting vehicles, particles poised are not given back to the environment to protect air quality.
Mechanical Washing
In Istanbul, everyday app. 300.000 m² are washed and presented for use of the citizens. Backwater remained from washing is collected again by mechanical sweeping vehicles and the squares are cleaned through studious efforts every day. These efforts are maintained for a cleaner Istanbul and to increase quality of life in the city.
Elimination of Unrecyclable Wastes
The latest stage in the hierarchy of waste management, is the elimination of the wastes according to its techniques by not harming human health as well as environment. In the landfill sites in Istanbul established for this purpose, construction and operation activities without harming air, soil, water and human health are managed since 1994. In Istanbul, there are two sanitary landfill sites, one for each sides, where municipality wastes are eliminated. 10.500 tons of 16.000 tons of unrecyclable waste is eliminated in European Site, and the rest of 5.500 tons is eliminated in Asian Site by landfilling.
The sanitary landfill sites where the leachate and gas management is made in a controlled manner, serves for 7/24. In these areas that all environmental measures are taken, all controls and audits are executed according to the law and regulations routinely. Garbage leachate having high contamination load is eliminated by not harming the nature, using membrane bioreactor + NF technology. The gas due to landfill is used in energy production by collecting through gas flues.
