The main objective of the project will be to provide participants with the knowledge, tools and skills necessary for the acquisition, updating and improvement of skills in the field of prevention, collection and management of waste of local competence. To this end, the technical, regulatory, economic and organisational aspects that affect municipal waste management will be addressed, paying special attention to the obligations arising from current legislation and good practices applicable at the local level.

Likewise, the project will aim to train participants to analyze the current situation of waste management in their respective municipalities, identifying strengths, weaknesses, needs and opportunities for improvement. On this basis, they will be provided with methodologies and tools that allow them to make a rigorous diagnosis of the existing situation and design action strategies adapted to the characteristics and needs of each local entity.

As a result of the training process, participants will be in a position to promote the development of a municipal waste management plan aligned with the principles of the circular economy, the waste hierarchy and the sustainability objectives established by European, state and regional regulations. In the same way, they will acquire the necessary knowledge to participate in the drafting or updating of a technical waste ordinance and a waste tax ordinance, ensuring that these municipal instruments respond to criteria of efficiency, economic viability, legal certainty and continuous improvement of public waste management services.

In order to adapt the contents to the reality of each local entity, the training will be organized in three different itineraries, aimed at large, medium and small municipalities. This segmentation will allow examples, practical cases and work tools to be adjusted to the specific needs of each group, guaranteeing greater applicability of the knowledge acquired.

The training programme will be structured into nine modules that will address the normative and regulatory framework of waste management, diagnostic and municipal planning tools, the preparation of action plans, the drafting of technical and fiscal waste ordinances, transversal skills related to innovation and critical thinking, as well as the integration of equal opportunities between women and men in professional practice.

As a complement to the training, participants will receive specialised technical advice through visits to waste treatment and recovery facilities in the territory, allowing them to learn first-hand about experiences and solutions implemented in Bizkaia. Likewise, demonstration sessions will be organized by companies specialized in waste collection and management technologies and services, facilitating knowledge of innovative tools applicable to the municipal reality.
