- The next step is placing an international tender for choosing the contractor. The preparation of the tender will be carried out by a work group which has already been formed and the Ministry in charge of environmental protection.

He pointed out that the tender for choosing the company which will build the regional waste management center Keles had not fallen through, but that it was not going according to the plan.
