Collection
Each of us generates waste, and we have a responsibility to dispose of it properly. In this section, you will find all the information related to various collections.
- Household garbage (waste) collection occurs once a week (Wednesday);
- Recyclable material collections take place every second Monday of each month.
Garbage should be placed by the roadside the night before collection and before 6 a.m. on the collection day. Also, please note that garbage and recycling should not be placed near mailboxes.
