LocationsGLASS RECYCLING: SOMEONE HAD TO START IT
July 4, 2023
While glass recycling significantly reduces air and water pollution, the practice remains unexplored in Kosovo. This was one of the main concerns of Dugagjin Berisha, a lover of environment and father of five, who was willing to pioneer glass recycling as a socially and environmentally friendly action with financial benefits.
Born and raised in Gjakovë/Djakovica, Dugagjin is known for taking care of the neighborhood he lives in - to the extent that he has been able to increase a great deal of awareness amongst the people of his hometown. The area of the compound he lives in used to be a dusty and muddy parking area. Thanks to Dugagjin’s hard work, the parking lot is now turned into a nice garden and a basketball court for the kids of the neighborhood. Except that, he imported and installed a watering system; but never used the drinking water for watering. Instead, he adjusted an old well that existed in the compound, dating from decades ago. For many years, “Marin Barleti” stands out as a model neighborhood - not only in Gjakovë/Djakovica, but in neighboring municipalities, as well.
