Vrilissia

In June 2020, the municipality of Vrilissia (in Greece) promoted an information, awareness and active citizen participation campaign in the demonstration area of ​​the LIFEPAYT Project. For this purpose, leaflets explaining the PAYT system that will be implemented in this area were distributed to residents, as well as demonstrations were carried out closed to the containers to show how  this equipment should be used.

The municipality of Vrilissia has developed an innovative PAYT container with an access control system that is based on the monitoring of the waste produced by its weight. After a large number of tests to evaluate the technical specifications, 25 waste containers are already developedt, tested and ready to be used in the respective locals.

Ten PAYT waste bins have been placed for pilot testing at Vrilissia Municipality. A few citizens at the project demonstration area were trained and informed about the project in order to record potential issues. This way, the PAYT project team had the chance to adjust several issues, thus facilitating the implementation of the full scale demonstration phase of the project.

On May 19, 2019, the Municipality of Vrilissia installed an information desk for the LIFEPAYT Project, in Parque Rematia, where it distributed Domestic Composting kits to residents, as well as it provided relevant information about the LIFEPAYT Project.

As part of the LIFE PAYT project, the municipality of Vrilissia purchased domestic compost kits to be distributed to residents of the demonstration area. After receiving the equipment, the municipality proceeded to verify the quality of the products and prepare the respective composting kits.
