The Pardubice Region, together with the ASEKOL Collective System, has launched a competition for the collection of remanufactured electrical equipment. The price of the Pardubice Region and the ASEKOL Collective System is awarded for the highest yield achieved by the collection of small electrical appliances, such as small household appliances, consumer electronics, medical devices and toys.

In the category of municipalities of 2 000 inhabitants the first place belongs to the village of Slepotice, in the category of municipalities from 2 000 to 5 000 inhabitants to the town of Jablonné nad Orlicí, and in the towns of over 5 000 inhabitants, Přelouč won. A special prize was also awarded for the highest yield of collection  WEEE through red containers (per capita), which was acquired by Býšť in 2017.

ASEKOL has deployed nearly 230 red containers in the Pardubice region and does not intend to relieve its efforts. “Last year we managed to distribute another 33 red stationary containers in the streets of Pardubice and now we will satisfy the demand of smaller towns. Competition in the competition will therefore be even higher and smaller municipalities also have a chance, “says Karel Vítek, Regional Manager of ASEKOL for the Pardubice Region.
