As of today, there is a temporary organization of garbage collection in three more metropolitan areas. This is happening because the municipal government did not conclude contracts with garbage collection companies due to expensive offers.
The districts of „Izgrev“, „Slatina“ and „Poduyane“ are also joining the already problematic „Lyulin“ and „Krasno Selo“ garbage collection.
This time, the metropolitan government assured that it has learned its lessons from the first two districts. In the „Slatina“ district The large containers are located on municipal land, and there will be video surveillance, gave an example of Deputy Mayor for Ecology Nadezhda Bobcheva. She expects 14 trucks to collect waste in the three regions. Equipment from “Lyulin“ and “Krasno Selo“ will not be redirected.
Sofia Mayor Vasil Terziev did not answer how much the temporary organization costs per day. But he pointed out that the price the municipality will pay is lower than what it previously cost the operators.
A bigger challenge, according to the mayor, is deciding what happens to these areas where contracts expire at the end of December and in January.
