At two garbage sites, municipal workers of Bila Tserkva in the Kyiv region installed special tanks for the separate collection of household waste. They want to find out whether the citizens of Belotserki will sort the garbage.
The Department of Housing and Communal Services of the Bilotserkiv City Council informed about the "garbage" experiment.
Officials said that at the next meeting of the working group on waste management, a dispute arose: whether the community is ready to sort garbage or whether it is satisfied with the existing collection system.
The experiment will take place as follows: for two weeks, volunteers will teach the residents of the houses how to dispose of garbage correctly. Then for two weeks, residents will do it themselves.
"What is your opinion? Will residents learn to sort in a month? Will our community accept this way of handling waste?" – the officials asked the citizens on the Facebook page and offered to write the answers in the comments.
Here are the opinions of citizens they received:
In our subjective opinion, the question of "sort or leave as is" has no right to exist in a country that is applying to join the European Union.
