High School Reporter  Journalism and civic education Then I contacted the sanitation company SC AVE-HURON SRL from where I received quite important answers which, I think I would not have learned from anywhere else, except for the mayor’s office of Miercurea Ciuc.

In the end, this complex subject appeared in the article below.

Think about the future! Recycling regards you!

The garbage is collected but nobody knows anything about the recycling in Miercurea Ciuc. What is the reason of ignorance? Do people not get civically involved as much as they should? Because the lack of information dominates.

So for the moment we can speak of the recycling issue.

A Vox Populi took place, so the youth from our community were asked: What do you know about the recycling in Miercurea Ciuc and how is it implemented in this town? Most of them answered: “I don’t know anything, trust me!” Others heard about the sanitation company AVE which collect their household garbage. Here are their answers: “Well, the recycling of the oil. The oil used should not be thrown into water. It is collected in empty bottles and thrown to garbage cans and then a vehicle comes to pick up the garbage.

The vehicle belongs to a Hungarian company.” (D.M.-19).

A.N. aged 17 says: “In our town the following recycling possibilities can be mentioned: 1. The vehicles that process the wood from which residual material results such as sawdust which can be used in district heating. Taking into account that the methane gas gets more expensive, and the sawdust is relatively cheap, replacing it and using it, the money spent on urban heating and the synthesis of household hot water will be significantly lower (by 30-35%) than the costs covered by the Romanian population now.

2. By a civil initiative they organized the collection of household oil that they use as fuel for machinery.”

P.I. aged 19: “We did not learn to exist in our town a selective collection program, but I do not think that it would be a bad idea, on the contrary, it would be welcome.”

B.Cs. aged 19: “I do not think that in Miercurea Ciuc we can talk about the recycling of wastes. At least it does not seems like that because no special garbage baskets are distributed. It is true, in few place, such as the station, but they are only formally because nobody uses them properly. But if the recycling of wastes does not take place, we can understand for what reason.”

We learned important information about the recycling in town from the assistant manager of the sanitation company AVE, Csilla Farkas-Czerják: Question: The only sanitation company from Miercurea Ciuc is the one you have in administration. Since when does it function in this town?

Answer: The company AVE Huron SRL has functioned in town since 1997. Until 2008 the company functioned under the name Huron Export-Import SRL and after the leader of the wastes management market from Austria took over the company 100% it became an operational subsidiary of wastes management of AVE Group.

Question: How and when does the collection of garbage take place?
