The week's activities were successful and had the following results:

- Large amounts of waste were brought and deposited in the separate bins.

120 items of used footwear and clothing were collected, 620 batteries, 40 light bulbs, 32 electrical and electronic appliances and 20 ink cartridges and toners.

The municipality issued a statement saying: "Central Corfu Municipality is steadily creating and developing waste collection streams. On a daily basis, members of the public are learning about these efforts and taking part."
