Sorting waste correctly is now easier thanks to the new Waste Sorting Guide from AMAIE Energia e Servizi. This practical guide helps residents find the right disposal method for each type of waste. It also reduces confusion and prevents common recycling mistakes.
From paper bags and batteries to packaging and household appliances, the Guide lists a wide range of items in alphabetical order. Each entry explains how to dispose of the material correctly.
Where does it go? The Waste Sorting Guide helps you choose the right bin
Finding the correct bin for an item is not always easy. That’s why AMAIE provides a simple, easy-to-use tool that helps residents quickly identify the right waste category. The Guide explains whether an item belongs in paper, organic waste, glass, plastic and metals, or residual waste. It also identifies materials that require disposal at a Waste Collection Centre or through other dedicated services. In addition, the Guide offers practical tips to improve recycling quality. For example, flatten cardboard boxes before disposal. Empty plastic and metal packaging completely and, whenever possible, reduce its volume.
Smart Eco-islands: correct waste sorting is only the first step
Effective waste sorting involves more than choosing the right bin. Residents must also use smart Eco-islands correctly. Always place waste in its designated compartment. Avoid using oversized or overfilled bags, as these can obstruct the openings. Waste bags used in smart Eco-islands must have a capacity of less than 50 litres. Larger bags can make disposal difficult and interfere with the system’s proper operation. Instead, choose smaller bags and place them inside the openings without forcing them.
Small actions for better waste sorting and recycling
Checking the Waste Sorting Guide before disposing of an item helps prevent mistakes and improves recycling quality.
A few simple habits can make a real difference:
- Check the correct waste category before disposal.
- Empty packaging completely.
- Flatten boxes and reduce the volume of bottles and containers whenever possible.
- Use appropriately sized bags at smart Eco-islands.
- Never leave waste outside the bins.
For bulky waste, electronic equipment, grass clippings, garden pruning waste and other special materials, AMAIE provides dedicated collection services, Waste Collection Centres and alternative disposal options.
