A new service has been introduced in the city application “Kyiv Digital” that significantly eases the process of sorting household waste and repurposing items.
The sorting map helps users quickly locate containers for specific types of waste and includes detailed sorting instructions. It specifies 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 “Baskets of Goodness” where residents can donate clean, used clothing and other household items.
According to a survey conducted within the app, nearly 55% of residents are already sorting their waste.
Requests for the installation of new containers can be submitted through “Kyiv Digital” or on the website of KP “Kyivkomunservis,” along with a photo of the proposed location.
