The problems related to the installation of digital technology and applications for waste management were discussed during the meeting of Yerevan Deputy Mayor Tigran Avinyan with the representatives of “ The Big 3” company.

According to the General Manager of “The Big 3” company Artyom Sedov, the program is aimed at automation of the whole work process of companies engaged in waste removal and receptance. What is the most important is that the city authorities have the whole picture of the process: who creates the wastes, who removes it and where to, what are the fees, and last but not least, no building wastes or rubbish of other type will appear in Yerevan streets which have such rich historical connotation.
The community takes steps to start the full process of waste sorting and recycling. The goal is to install effective systems of waste management like in many developed cities and to improve the condition of the capital’s ecosystem.

The presented program is interesting and is already in use, so this program or some other similar program will soon be installed in Yerevan.
