The law ‘on waste’ came into force this January. It implies waste sorting. However, Lutsk authorities decided to obey it in their own way – since June.
In summer all over Lutsk they have to establish for three waste containers for dry garbage, liquids and plastic. Now in the town there are more than 1500 places for garbage collection. For each one there is a necessity to buy two containers more what means in general three thousand containers. Authorities allocated a million hryvnias what is enough just for two hundred tanks. There is also another problem – Bryshche landfill will stop accepting unsorted waste on 1 June.
What is more – there is a possibility that a number of landfills will occur near the territory of Lutsk because the town council prohibited to collect waste from the neighboring villages.
The experts propose some ways to solve the problem – for example to support business related to waste usage or production.
