Starting in October, the company “Remondis Minsk” will begin installing special containers in the capital for collecting clothing and footwear. The first stage calls for 50 containers to be placed, the Minsk City Housing and Utilities Department reported.
Items will have to be packed in a bag before being deposited. The collected textiles will be sorted and sent for further use or recycling.
The containers will be installed separately from existing waste collection sites, in high-traffic locations. According to the project organizers, this is intended to reduce the likelihood of other types of waste being placed in them. Exact addresses were not provided in the announcement.
Around 1,000-1,500 such containers are planned to be installed in Minsk alone.
