The company serves 2694 clients of different categories (private households, institutions, facilities, apartments, villages). On average only 59% of the bills are paid • • The collection of waste from households, shops and institutions takes place without primary separation of waste, (organic waste, metal, glass, paper, or hazardous waste like batteries, medicines etc.) • • Waste transportation does not undergo any preliminary treatment, so the collected volume goes straight to landfill.
