The population of Lviv is forced to organize public actions in order to obtain cleaning of overcrowded garbage cans In the evening of May 22 local residents built an impromptu barricade of garbage bags in the Konduktorska street to draw attention to the problem of non-removal of domestic waste. Four police officers arrived in this area. “The street conductor. People blocked the road with garbage. At 23:00 it is still blocked, the police are present, “Lviv City Council deputy Igor Zinkevich wrote on his Facebook page, illustrating the photos from the scene.

As local media reported, on the morning of May 23, the communal workers started cleaning garbage. The actions of the townspeople are quite understandable, given that the garbage cans are so crowded that rats from whom people suffer suffer in them. According to the data of the Housing Authority for mid-April, garbage was taken from only 336 container sites, that is 27.2% of the total. Despite the fact that there are 1237 garbage dumps in the city, this is not enough to solve the problem. Daily in Lviv, about 500-600 tons of solid household waste are formed.

The prosecutor’s office of the Lviv region opened a criminal investigation into the violation of sanitary rules and regulations for the prevention of infectious diseases and mass poisonings in connection with the debris removal in Lviv.
