The Municipality of Beirut announced that Ramco is building underground waste containers across the city. This waste management technique meets international standards. This is how these bins work! Underground bins save space, isolate the waste odor, and ensure a clean and hygienic environment. They are used in many developed countries. Ramco is scheduled to install bins of three different types in 250 collection points in a move to encourage people to sort their waste. Recycling trash can significantly help us in ending the garbage crisis in Lebanon.
