The deputy mayor of Chernivtsi, Igor Krokhmal, said that communities are planning to introduce lessons on sorting garbage in kindergartens and schools.
Consultations with educational institutions are likely to begin as early as 2023, Young Bukovinets reports.
Krakhmal emphasized that a number of Ukrainian cities have already introduced such an initiative. After all, if children are taught to sort garbage, they teach their parents at home.
He added that service providers could offer schools to install sorting bins and take out recyclables. After all, every city is required to introduce garbage collection.
"The law on the treatment of household waste requires burying only sorted garbage. This is a condition for licensing the landfill," said Krakhmal."
Service providers should also install waste sorting bins, he said. So they have already begun to install nets for plastic, which should be in all locations where there are two or more containers, that is, in almost 500 places. Currently, the city has a low percentage of waste sorting and sorting yards are equipped only at some condominiums.
"By the end of the year, the Max Clean City and Ukrvtorresurs enterprises must install these containers so that residents can sort the garbage," he said.
Krakhmal added that later in the city it is possible to reduce the tariffs for garbage collection, because the costs for its removal and disposal will be lower.
Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that in the Sumy region in the city of Hlukhiv, 4 eco-activist schoolgirls teach children in grades 3-6 to sort and tell them about the impact of waste on the environment and human health.
As EcoPolitic reported earlier, in Lutsk kindergartens and schools, children began to be taught how to sort and compost waste.
