In the end of August 2004 first steps in preparation of the two-stage project were initiated. The project appeared to be a follow-up of the constant efforts of the municipal leadership to lay the new foundations of municipal waste management .
An important impetus for the achievement of this goal was the establishment of the first cell of the new regional dung-hill for non - dangerous wastes in the land of Oryahovo Municipality, which is envisaged to be soon exploited .
This also caused the efforts to elaborate an up - to - date registry of old wastes on the territory of the municipality and to draw a plan for their re-cultivation . But the lack of funds made the municipal leadership search for funding sources to implement the most urgent works , important for the improvement of polluted areas and their surroundings .
The project on cleaning, greening of cleaned areas and introducing separate waste collection was developed by Miziya Municipality , funded by the Enterprise on Environmental Activities Management within the Ministry of Environment and Waters , Sofia .
A natural follow-up of the municipal performance on waste management was the elaborated and implemented in 2004 two-stage project on improvement of polluted areas in areas within the Roma neighborhood city of Miziya, greening of areas and introducing separate waste collection . 22 persons living close to the polluted areas did actively participate in this initiative . They took part in the implementation of the most urgent project activities waste collecting and loading , digging of ditches for saplings , and watering of the newly - planted saplings .
The first project stage / including collection , loading and transportation of wastes / was implemented in the end of 2003. 400 cubic meters of wastes were carried away to the city dung-hill and surfacing of the cleaned up areas was performed .
During the second project stage / spring 2004/ 180 deciduous saplings were planted on the improved terrains , and as a result a mixed forest eco - system (10 decars) of main wood species like chestnut , oak , birch and acacia was established .
Besides the cleaning activities the project also included other activities as follows : partial forestation of the re - cultivated terrains and introducing measures against pollution of the cleaned terrains, maintenance of green areas through implementing effective control and sanctions according to the local and national environmental legal acts , carrying out mass information campaign through local media and installing signboards , introduction of guards .
The project implementation helped improvement of cleanness and infrastructure in the areas of the Roma neighborhood city of Miziya and to build motivation in the inhabitants to preserve the environment . The carrying out of project activities provided an opportunity to eliminate the negative impact on the environment, especially in its basic components like : air, water, bio-diversity / through enriching the local flora /.
