Vapes can be brought to 10 reception points

Vinnytsia has started accepting used e-cigarettes (vapes or "disposables") from citizens to make power banks for the military from their batteries.

They can be brought to all Eco-Service collection points, according to their Facebook page.

  • St. Kyivska, 169 – Memorial Liberation stop;
  • St. Kyivska, 78 – behind the gas station "WOG";
  • St. Internationalist Warriors, 4b – opposite the "Mayak" water park and the "WOG" gas station;
  • St. Pyrogova, 49 – "Urozhai" market, entrance from the street. Skaletskyi;
  • Khmelnytske Shosse, 79 – in the yard of the building behind the "Lisopark" market;
  • ave. Kosmonavtiv, 20 in the yard of the building behind the "Ukrainochka" store;
  • St. Soborna, 83 – entrance through the arch into the yard;
  • Magistratska, 76 – behind the "Cardinal" hotel;
  • St. 600th anniversary, 60 – for the dental clinic "Prior";
  • St. Levka Lukyanenko, 19 – TM ECO-SERVICE base.
