Underground eco-island is built and placed in the Cengic Vila.

Packaging waste which is separately suspended in the above locations will be collected by a special-purpose vehicle for emptying underground containers, and will be prepared for transport to recycling.

set up three more underground eco-island in the Sarajevo Canton. The project
