Ecobuses will make additional stops in the city of Dublyany, village Lysynychi, village Zashkiv and Ryasne-Ruske

In June, mobile collection points for waste lamps, mercury thermometers and batteries – EcoBuses – will continue to operate in Lviv and the Lviv territorial community.

The schedule of their work was published by the Department of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Lviv Regional State Administration.

The schedule of stops in June is as follows:

The State Enterprise "Bodnarivka", which is engaged in collection, emphasizes that lamps, thermometers and batteries are accepted free of charge from residents of the community. Each resident can bring up to 10 lamps, 5 thermometers and 10 kg of batteries for recycling and disposal.

LRSA specialists reminded that thermometers and lamps should be delivered in factory packaging, and if there is no such, then you need to take care of safe packaging – make a homemade cardboard (paper) container, separately for each lamp or thermometer, to avoid possible damage.

In May, EcoPolitic provided ecobus operation schedule in Poltava Oblast.
