Pazardzhik will host hazardous household waste at a mobile collection point on October 16

On October 16 from 10:00 to 16:00, Pazardzhik will host a mobile point for separate collection of hazardous household waste. The point will be located on the pedestrian alley “Prof. Velichko Minekov,” near the Pazardzhik Municipality Information Center and opposite the Lion statue.

The initiative is carried out within the National System for Hazardous Domestic Waste of “BalBok Engineering” AD and aims to ensure citizens safely deliver waste that should not be disposed of in the mixed municipal waste bins.

At the mobile point, the following will be accepted: expired medicines, mercury and mercury thermometers, paints, varnishes, thinners, glues, silicones, household cleaners and domestic chemicals, inks and toners, acids and bases, plant protection products, as well as empty packaging labeled as hazardous.

Batteries, electrical appliances and electronics, infectious waste (including syringes), materials with unknown composition, gases and pressurized bottles are not accepted, with the exception of aerosols.

For the transfer of mercury, acids, bases, or waste in open and damaged packaging, citizens must pre-separate them and notify the mobile point staff. This condition is necessary for their safe collection and transport.

Hazardous household waste requires special treatment, as improper disposal can threaten human health and the environment. By organizing the mobile point, the Municipality promotes separate collection and responsible waste management.
