Take responibility
Do not throw away things that others may enjoy, consider recycling stations for reuse and think of the environment. We will gladly handle everything else.
Be considerate of the neighborhood and passers-by. Do not place the bags in a way that may inconvenience others and order pick-up as soon as the bag is full.
It’s very important not to place bags with flammable waste up against house walls, due to fire hazards.
The fire service's advice when using a «container-bag»
Ordinary open containers must be placed at least five meters from buildings.
When using a bag, you must keep in mind that the bag itself is flammable, meaning the bag itself can go up in flames.
People need to plan the use of the bag. The fire service encourages people not to fill it up with waste until they have the collection ready.
The bags must not be left unattended, especially overnight.
If it is left overnight, it must be moved well away from the building, at least five meters. At the same time, one must think about accessibility for the fire service and others in the city.

Extraordinary increase in prices
18.03.2022: A demanding situation with increasing prices for both energy, fuel and raw materials means that we find ourselves forced to implement an extraordinary price increase on some of our goods and services.
