No Waste Ukraine collection point opens in Kyiv

"One can bring here all types of packaging that can be recycled – made of metal, glass, plastic, etc. You can also bring things, batteries, small-sized gadgets and chargers and leave items that you want to give away to someone (reuse), such as books or decorative accessories, on a special shelf," chairperson of the public initiative Yevgehia Aratovska told 112 Ukraine.

Points collecting recyclable materials accept only some types of them, containers are not available. This is an opportunity to see if waste could become a source of income. We will report to the public on how much we've collected and sold, whom it has been sold to, and how much we've earned," she added.
