In Kharkiv, citizens can give unnecessary things to the ecohub for reuse, or pick up necessary things for themselves, and also help other people with food through the foot bank.
Ecohub also accepts waste for recycling and composting, Kharkiv Zero Waste reports on Facebook.
For the foot bank, you can bring food with a long shelf life, including tea, coffee, cereals, pasta, preserves, etc. It will then be distributed among those who need it most.

- blankets;
- medicine;
- dishes, etc.
There is a composter in the courtyard of the Ecohub, where you can bring organic waste, namely fruit and vegetable waste.
