The city app “Kyiv Digital” has introduced an innovative service that makes the sorting of household waste and the recycling of items much easier.
The sorting map helps users quickly locate containers for specific types of waste and includes detailed instructions on how to sort. It provides information on which plastics are accepted (PET-1, HDPE-2, PP-5, tetra packs), how to prepare glass, and where to dispose of hazardous waste (batteries, thermometers, medications).
To find the nearest container, simply open the Maps in the app and select the “Waste Sorting” section. The map also marks the locations of “Good Baskets”, where residents can donate clean used clothing and other household items.
According to a survey conducted in the app, nearly 55% of residents are already sorting their waste.
Requests for new container installations can be submitted via “Kyiv Digital” or on the Kyiv Communal Service website, attaching a photo of the proposed location.
