Working together to reduce waste

St Martin’s Day is an event organised in line with the Zero Waste approach. We will minimise waste by using returnable or biodegradable packaging and by sorting waste. A ‘green patrol’ will be stationed at the recycling points to help visitors dispose of their waste correctly. In this way, together we protect the environment and look after our city, which proudly bears the title of ‘Green City of Maribor’.
