In July, Lviv residents will be able to hand over used mercury thermometers, lamps and batteries for recycling.

A mobile collection point, the so-called ecobus, will collect this hazardous waste from the population free of charge. The parking schedule of the Lviv ecobus was published on the website "Bodnarovka" .

Recall that hazardous waste is accepted free of charge only from residents of the Lviv State territorial community.

You can donate up to 10 lamps, 5 thermometers and 10 kg of batteries at a time. They must be in a safe container, and thermometers - whole and idle.

Collection of hazardous waste for the convenience of residents will be held in different areas of the city on three days of the week: Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

In total, the ecobus will make 25 trips next month.
