Introduction
Kalithea is home to the vibrant town of Faliraki and its hotels.
It is a very popular tourist area because of its good climate and whilst this boosts the local economy is also has an impact upon the waste management industry.

Waste Production in Kalithea
Average waste production is fifty tonnes daily.
Most waste comes from hotels, apartments, tavernas and the retail industry.
A large proportion of the waste is from food.
The rest is made up of paper, card, plastic, glass, aluminium, steel cans, and textiles (waste clothing left behind by tourists).

Each hotel has a sealed cold room with 660 litre containers for food waste. It is thermostatically kept at a cool temperature until collection.
It is designed to keep biodegradable waste cool in the Mediterranean climate until collected.

Operation of the waste collection service
The municipality has three waste collection vehicles, two for Faliraki and its hotels, while the third services villages inland.
To save money the municipality double shifts its collection vehicles.

Case study Kaoussis
Kaoussis has been manufacturing waste collection vehicles in Athens since 1971.
Today it supplies 75% of the Greek municipalities and private sector waste management companies with waste collection vehicles, bin washers, road sweepers, ejector trailers, skip loaders, roll on off equipment as well as building waste transfer stations.

Health and safety issues in waste collection
High visibility clothing is not enforced in Greece. The only protective clothing supplied are gloves.
In Greece, rear mounted footboards for loaders to stand on are used, despite the practice being banned by other EU members since the evolution of the low entry cab.
Many areas of Greece do use low entry chassis supplied by Dennis Eagle (Elite 2) and Mercedes Benz (Econic) supplied through Kaoussis. Probably in Rhodes it is a cost issue.
The waste collection vehicle I saw working did not appear to be regularly maintained. It had a cracked near side mirror and the roof flashing beacon was broken.

The wastes final destination from the District of Kalithea
Each vehicle collects two loads of waste daily.
Once it is full, the crew ride in the cab to the sanitary landfill site in the centre of the island.
On average fifty tonnes of waste from the hotels are delivered daily to the landfill.
The landfill can receive waste twenty four hours a day.

The future of waste collection on the island of Rhodes
Since the economic crisis, power has devolved to Rhodes Town, the largest city on the island.
Each municipality has to seek guidance from Rhodes Town before they can make local decisions.
Rhodes Town has decided privatisation is the way forward for waste collection services.

Private waste collection contractors which already exist on the island of Rhodes
There are two private waste collection contractors working on the island of Rhodes.
Helesi S.A. (Hellenic Environmental Systems Industry) who have great experience in managing Greek waste collection contracts have long term contracts with Ialysos and Afantou.
Perme (Environmental Transport Ltd), the other contractor has since 2005 had long term contracts in Archangelos. It also collects waste for Lindos.

Conclusion
Although it looks likely waste collection will be privatised in Greece, given the economic crisis, who wants to win the contracts?
Will they be paid?
Are there any other measures the government could introduce instead of privatisation?
Is the formation of Direct Service Organisations the answer?
Operating as a public company but as a division of the municipality, they tender competitively for contracts and offer best value for money. They also control their own budgets.
Could the merger of several municipalities be another answer? A Unitary Authority would allow them to share operating costs.
Can Greece learn from the UK how to provide a cost effective local service? Or is the Greek situation too different from the UK experience?
