Mobile collection points for hazardous waste operate in three regional centers. Residents can dispose of items that are harmful to discard in regular trash, free of charge-from batteries to expired medications.

Lviv and the suburban community

The Lviv Ecobus will operate from Friday to Saturday, staying at each location for three hours. In addition to stops within Lviv itself, the special vehicle will visit the settlements of Rudne, Bryukhovychi, and the city of Vynnyky.

  • Up to 10 kg of batteries and accumulators. The recommended container is a cardboard box or bag. Plastic bottles are discouraged.
  • Up to 10 fluorescent lamps. They must be in a cardboard box or other rigid packaging to prevent damage.
