Waste management authorities in Pitești have introduced specific guidelines for the use of underground containers and the sorting of recyclable materials. Residents are instructed to use color-coded bins for paper, plastic, metal, glass, biodegradable, and residual waste, with warnings that abandoning waste near containers is subject to fines.

Following these guidelines, Pitești is organizing its third free collection campaign of the year for bulky waste and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), scheduled for September 24 to September 25. The campaign includes specific collection points in several neighborhoods and offers doorstep collection for residents in houses.
