In Khmelnytskyi, employees and visitors of communal enterprises and institutions began to sort garbage in institutions.

Community "Smart environment. Khmelnytskyi" on Facebook published a photo of sorting areas recently created in institutions.

Thus, institutions have installed containers for collecting plastic, paper, and used batteries. And in some places there are also separate containers for sorted glass, metal and other waste.

The authors also urged all entrepreneurs to implement such an initiative in their offices and popularize waste sorting among employees and visitors.

Earlier, E$coPolitic wrote, that in Khmelnytskyi, the project of the Action Plan Green City and the Report on Strategic Environmental Assessment were developed and made public, which will become a road map for improving the environmental condition of the city.

As EcoPolitic reported earlier, to start sorting at home, you don't need a lot of space, and it can be done even in a small apartment. Eco-activists have prepared several tips that will help to arrange space and conveniently send waste for recycling.
