This year we celebrate with less waste!
The 40th St. Martin’s Day Celebration in Maribor will focus on waste reduction.
A reusable glass system will be introduced at the event venues. Upon paying a deposit, you’ll receive a glass which you can return at designated collection points to get your deposit back.
Eco islands for waste separation will be set up:
- On Koroška Street, you’ll be assisted by the Green Guard,
- while at Leon Štukelj Square, we’ll count on your care and responsibility.
Together, we can make this year’s St. Martin’s Day Celebration joyful and kinder to the environment.
