Burgas Municipality’s Initiative for Disposal of Large Size Waste Continues

Wednesday, 25 February 2009

Municipal administration’s initiative for collecting and disposal of large size waste on the territory of Burgas municipality continues. It started during the previous summer, when dustbins turned into piles of old furniture and damaged appliances.

A quick inquiry reveals that “Titan”, the company in charge of waste collection in Burgas, transports about 1800 tons of large size and construction waste monthly. Large size waste is that king of waste, which can not be put in the dustbins because of their bigger size and weight and they are difficult to pick up. These are for example out-of-use furniture, stoves, refrigerators, washing machines, TV sets, etc.

There is no deadline for the initiative. The objective is the waste, that causes ugly scenery and block the town to be timely cleaned, so that Burgas has the appearance of a modern European town.

The Municipality of Burgas appeals to citizens to keep supporting the initiative and continue putting their large size waste near the dustbins according to the existing fixed schedule for their collecting. In case the fixed date for large size waste disposal is missed, citizens can leave their waste near the bins of the next area, appointed in the schedule.

According to the schedule citizens should throw out their old or unnecessary things during the weekends, so that the company

can collect them and transport them to the waste depot during the next week days. Throwing out of large size waste out of the schedule is a violation of article 5, paragraph 4 of the Waste Management on the Territory of Burgas Municipality Act and the violators will be imposed a fine of BGN 5000.

Waste in Central urban area and “Vazrazhdane” will be disposed every first weekend of the month. In “Bratya Miladinovi” and “Lazur” it will be disposed every second weekend of the month. The third one is for “Slaveykov”, “Izgrev” and “Zornitsa” and the fourth – for “Meden Rudnik”, “Akatsii” and “Pobeda”.

For the suburbs and settlements of Burgas the schedule is as follows: Sarafovo, Rudnik, Cherno More, Vetren, Mineralni Bani, Banevo, Izvorishte, Bryastovets, Mirolyubovo, Draganovo and Bulgarovo – every second weekend of the month; Lozovo, Dolno Ezerovo, Gorno Ezerovo, Kraymorie, Ravnets, Vurli Bryag, Tvarditsa, Marinka and Dimtchevo – every third weekend of the month.
