All cities are recommended to prioritize solid waste
recycling in a regulated facility or solid waste incineration
that leads to energy production over all other forms of
disposal. While its overall waste disposal mix is effective
sustainably, it is recommended that Pully continues to
develop its recycling capability and culture further as part
of its smart sustainability strategy.

Optimizing waste recycling: As part of this recommendation steps that cities or regions such as Pully
can take to increase their recycling rates include the following best practices:

• Enhance (for non-recyclers) and reinforce (for recyclers) public communication and outreach in
order to increase overall public participation in recycling.
• Evaluate the recyling markets and pricing levels for materials.

• Evaluate hauler contract(s).
• Modify collection techniques in order to enhance programme efficiency and diversity as part of a
strategic plan.
• Legislate and fund smart recycling.
