In the capital began to establish a new type of underground containers for solid domestic waste. In the central part of the city, 50 such containers are already installed, and by the end of the year their number will increase to 100 units. “These tanks are functioning in European countries – we have not invented anything new.Those containers are modern, roomy, they look neat, because in Kiev yards there are often dirty containers full of garbage, they take up a lot of space, and residents complain about an unpleasant smell. The container has a volume of 5 cubic meters and replaces 5 conventional open containers, “- said the mayor of the city Vitaly Klichko during the presentation of underground garbage containers and urns, some of which are installed on the Landscape avenue. Such containers are equipped with solar information panels and special sensors that transmit information to the dispatcher when the tank is already full and the garbage from it needs to be taken out. In addition, the containers are equipped with a fire extinguishing system, if they get a cigarette butt or another object that can cause a fire. According to KSCA, 200 new urns are also installed in urban recreation areas, which are more spacious and have a modern look.
