OFFSHORE GARBAGE COLLECTION
CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
Yacht Hotel has arrangements with the municipalities of Taormina & Giardini Naxos to dispose of separated garbage which has been produced during your stay in Taormina. Our dedicated RIB will collect and transport your garbage to the YH base at the Porticciolo Saja every evening where it will be repacked, labelled and ready for collection before sunrise. There are no skips ashore so please do not take your garbage ashore yourselves. You will not find where to dispose of your garbage and risk being subjected to a fine by the local authorities. Garbage can only be collected and transported in strong transparent garbage bags which we can supply you with if necessary. Kindly do not overfill bags as they are hand carried and it is unfair on the person providing the service if they are too heavy.
Garbage should be separated as follows:
- Plastic (including rinsed drinks bottles and food containers)
- Glass (including rinsed drinks bottles and food jars)
- Metal (including rinsed cans and tins)
- Paper & cardboard (clean and preferably flattened)
- Non-recyclable waste (please ensure that no recyclable items are placed in this bag)
Yacht Hotel staff may refuse to accept your garbage if recyclable waste is not separated and packed as instructed.
The cost of the service for collecting your daily garbage is included in the overnight mooring fee for yachts up to 30m. Addition daily service fees will be charged as follows:
- €40 for yachts between 30 and 36m (max 250L);
- €80 for yachts between 37 and 44m (max 500L) and
- €120 for yachts between 45 and 50m (max 750L).
Additional quantities will be charged at €10 per max 50L bag
