Residents can bring batteries, mercury lamps, and thermometers to the mobile collection point

The mobile eco-bus continues to operate in the Lviv city community. Residents can take waste that is dangerous to throw away in the trash to the bus for disposal.

The local ecology and natural resources department has published the eco-bus schedule on the Lviv City Council website.

The eco-bus visits not only the city of Lviv itself. The schedule includes stops in the cities of Dublyany and Vynnyky, and the villages of Lysynychi, Zashkiv, Rudno, Bryukovychi, and Riasne-Ruske.

Up to 10 fluorescent lamps, up to 10 kg of batteries, and up to 5 mercury thermometers can be handed over for disposal.

"We remind the residents of the Lviv community of the importance of environmental awareness. Our eco-bus travels around the city and collects harmful waste so that it does not end up in the environment, creating potential sources of danger for us all," emphasized the state-owned enterprise "Bodnarivka."
