Trebinje Sets the Gold Standard for Clean and Sustainable City Living

In Trebinje, cleanliness isn’t a goal – it’s a shared civic pride

Tucked away in the sun-drenched hills of southern Herzegovina, Trebinje is quietly making a name for itself—not just for its ancient stone bridges, café-lined riversides and lush vineyards, but as one of the cleanest cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

While many Balkan towns struggle with waste management, Trebinje shines thanks to a coordinated effort involving 25 tireless workers from the local “Komunalno” service, who begin their day at 6am clearing rubbish across the city.

But this isn’t just municipal duty—it’s a city-wide ethos.

From the civil protection units to the local hydroelectric plant and over 1,000 volunteers who, on World Environment Day, collected seven tonnes of waste in a single morning—Trebinje’s dedication runs deep.

Backed by thoughtful investment—600,000 KM annually, including state-of-the-art waste vehicles and semi-underground bins—the city has created a model of urban environmental responsibility that’s rare in the region.

Trebinje, once just a postcard destination, now offers something even more lasting: a blueprint for sustainable city living.
