In Lviv, residents and guests of the city handed over 2 tons of Christmas trees to the composting station for processing.
Christmas trees are bulky waste that cannot be thrown away containers for household waste, and must be taken to one of 7 centralized collection points by January 29, reports "Green City" on Facebook.
The report said that at the station, Christmas trees are chopped into chips and composted with other organic waste, because they have an increased content of tannins.
"Conifer wood chips should be balanced with other tree species for optimal decomposition time. And compost with a large amount of needles due to the optimal (acidic) pH is useful for growing orchids and blueberries," the authors emphasized.
It is noted that Christmas trees can be brought to the composting station yourself, at the address: str. Plastova, 13, which is open from Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Or leave near container sites on certain days, namely:
- January 25;
- January 28-29.
Christmas tree collection points in Lviv:
- ave. Chornovola, 1 (near the container yards);
- St. Zamarstinivska, 167a;
- St. Volodymyra Velyky, 14 a (entrance to the Cinema Center located in the park "Gorykhovy Gai");
- St. Vyhovsky, 34 (near the Railway District Administration);
- St. Shafarika, 15 (entrance to the Pohulyanka forest park);
- ave. Chornovola (on the square next to the "Shypshina" tire repair shop);
- St. Hotkevich (entrance to the park of St. John Paul II of the Pope, near the Church of the Nativity of the Holy Virgin).
Lviv residents were urged to remove all New Year's decorations so that their remains do not end up in the compost during recycling.
Anyone who wants to can buy compost for the needs of their own farms.
Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that Lviv residents surrendered for processing 400 kg of Christmas trees to the composting station.
As EcoPolitic previously reported, some coffee shops in Kyiv, Lviv and Vinnytsia will provide discount for visitors, who will take coffee in their reusable cups.
