Some waste is too hazardous to be disposed of in a regular trash bin

The eco-bus continues to operate in a number of regional centres. It enables residents to dispose of hazardous waste free of charge at a location convenient for them – all they need to do is check the timetable and bring this specific waste in an undamaged condition or in packaging, depending on the type.

As is customary, EcoPolitic has compiled information on the eco-bus routes and stops.

Lviv

In Lviv, residents can dispose of used batteries, burnt-out light bulbs and thermometers free of charge at designated locations. However, it is important to note the maximum number of items allowed: 10 light bulbs, 5 thermometers and 10 kg of batteries.

In Khmelnytskyi, the eco-bus will run from Wednesday through Sunday. However, as the Khmelnytskyi City Council clarifies, on August 5 the mobile waste collection point will operate in the villages of the starosta district centered in the village of Oleshin.

This eco-bus collects the widest list of hazardous waste in Ukraine to date. It accepts not only batteries, lamps, and thermometers, but also paints, adhesives and solvents, electrical equipment, household chemicals, and expired medications.
