In September 2026, the RIOSV – Pazardzhik received six reports of improper waste disposal and polluted land. The most serious contamination was detected in the territory of the village of Govedare, near the cemetery and the levee of the Maritsa River. There were found household and construction waste, tires, car parts, and packaging scattered over an area of about three decares. The municipality of Pazardzhik was issued an order for cleaning.

Pollution was also detected on the road between Cholakova and Gorna Birkova, as well as in the village of Ivaylo, where construction waste was dumped directly next to the school fence. In another inspection in Pazardzhik, untreated waste was found scattered on a property, and the owner and contractors were summoned to the environmental inspection to clarify the case.

An inspection was also carried out in response to a signal about separate waste collection in Panagyurishte, but no violations were found. Another check is planned in response to a signal about construction waste in the village of Zvornichevo.
