In two districts of our Municipality, we are implementing two programs, Benefit As you Save (BAS) & Pay As You Throw (PAYT), which have never been globally implemented simultaneously.

The Program Benefit As you Save – BAS program belongs to the European project Interreg where our Municipality is a Lead Partner and The Pay as you throw program is a reward model for the participants of the program.

The main scope of the BAS program is to instantly incentivize citizens according to their contribution to the separate selection of waste at source and reward them with loyalty points.

The Pay As You Throw (PAYT) is a pricing model for waste disposal and after certain legislative measures which being made, households will be charged for their municipal fees according to their waste performance and will be rewarded with loyalty points.

  The next phase of this programm is to gradually extend it to the entire Municipality of Vari, Voula Vouliagmeni, by the end of 2023.

We also participate as a key partner in the European LIFE IP GREECE program, for the implementation of the Circular Economy and we have secured funding of 1.4 million Euros.
