Waste collection

Every household (low-rise buildings) owns 3 mini-containers: Grey for Plastic, Metal/tin cans and Drinking cartons (PMD). Green for organic waste, vegetable, fruit and garden waste. Blue for paper and cardboard. For high-rise buildings there are underground PMD and residual-waste containers in the nearby area.

For glass, batteries and textiles there are special containers located throughout the town.

Your PMD may be placed in the free PMD bags from the city. These will keep your PMD container nice and clean. You can also use your own transparent bags. PMD bags can be obtained free of charge from:
