KOSIT a.s. Waste Disposal Company | - In the current emergency situation KOSIT is working without restrictions with regard to the residents of our city.
- Waste disposal yards are available at their standard opening times, and the system of year-round emptying of large-capacity bins was restarted again on 27th March.
- As we have said in our public announcements, we ask Košice residents to be considerate during this unusual period and not to misuse the large-capacity bins for disposing of unreasonable amounts of waste material.
- As the National Public Health-care Authority has stated, used personal protective equipment (PPE – disposable face-masks, respirators, gloves, disinfectant wipes) should be disposed of together with normal household waste. This type of waste does not belong in separated waste containers (plastic or paper), but in the common waste bins.
- The following procedure is recommended:
- put PPE items in light plastic bags and tie them tightly;
- throw the plastic bags in a common household waste (black) container, then go home and thoroughly wash your hands.
