Provincia di Gorizia SORTED WASTE, A WAY OF LIFE. Caring for the environment. Provincia di Gorizia The new waste collection system in the province of Gorizia. Now that the Isonzo area has the appropriate waste disposal facilities (and regulations), we are in a position to provide a service tailored to local needs, that respects the environment and is cost-effective. At the heart of this service is the new waste collection system based on sorted waste. The local councils, the Provincial Council and Iris Isontina firmly believe in this venture. We trust that the inhabitants of the Province of Gorizia will support this project, which was developed for the general good. We call on the public spirit that has always distinguished the people of this region and on which the success of this project depends. Province of Gorizia Giorgio Brandolin Iris Isontina Gianfranco Gutty Head of the Provincial Council President USER CATEGORIES All domestic and commercial customers will be given a kit (bins and bags/sacks) to facilitate waste sorting.
