Hazardous waste can be brought to the Waste Management Centers every day from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

In Khmelnytsky, in February, the mobile hazardous waste collection point "eco-bus" will be used to recycle fluorescent lamps, batteries, electrical equipment, household chemicals, medicines, used disposable cigarettes, etc.

The schedule of eco-bus stops was published on its Facebook page by the public organization "Smart Environment. Khmelnytskyi".

The following types of waste can be brought to the eco-bus:

  • batteries and accumulators;
  • fluorescent lamps;
  • thermometers and mercury-containing materials;
  • paints, glues, solvents (with containers);
  • electrical and electronic equipment;
  • detergents, household chemicals (with containers);
  • expired medications.

This garbage cannot be thrown into the general container, because it has an extremely negative effect on the environment. But thanks to the ecobus, it will be recycled or disposed of.

Also, hazardous waste can be brought to the Waste Management Centers (7 Myru Avenue and the intersection of Chornovola and Pilotska Streets) every day from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
