Collection yards will be open every Sunday in May

In connection with spring cleaning and ecological waste management, the city of Košice has agreed with our company to extend the opening hours of the collection yards from 1. until 30. May. All six collection yards on Jarmočná, Pri bitúnku, Magnezitárska, Popradská, Napájadlá and Železiarenská streets will be open on Sundays during May, from 8.00 to 16.00. throw.

“We start spring cleaning especially in this period and during weekends. In order to meet the needs of the residents and at the same time to reduce the pressure on the collection yards on Saturdays, when they are visited to a greater extent, we will temporarily open the collection yards on Sundays during the month of May. I believe that this step will also contribute to responsible waste management. The amount of municipal waste sorted is increasing every year, and over the past three years the level of sorting has already increased to 34%, an increase of one third. The collection yards, which are increasingly used by the citizens of Košice, also play a role in this,” explained Mayor Jaroslav Polaček (independent).

The standard opening hours of the collection yards during the summer period (1 April – 30 September) are Monday to Saturday from 7.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m. During public holidays 1. a 8. All collection yards will be closed in May.

There is no additional charge for City residents to drop off their waste at the collection yards. The operation of collection yards is reflected in the municipal waste charge.
