In early July 2026 the Montenegrin government announced plans to acquire mobile incinerators for the disposal of animal waste, signalling a policy move toward mobile solutions for waste treatment.

By the end of July, community groups in Montenegro’s Donje Gorica suburb organized a green‑waste cleanup, using mobile recycling yards to remove debris from public streets. A parallel mobile recycling programme operated in Pula, Croatia, collected bulk non‑hazardous waste at several sites. These actions illustrate a shift from a governmental proposal toward on‑the‑ground pilot projects, reflecting broader reliance on mobile waste‑handling units to address perceived gaps in municipal waste services in Montenegro and the neighboring region.
