What garbage in which container is thrown in?
Different containers are provided for separate collecting solid household waste (solid waste). They are installed on specially equipped sites, regularly exported by the regional MSW operator. So that users know where and what waste is thrown out, special colors of containers for separate garbage collection are indicated: blue, yellow, green, brown, gray and black.
But even such a division causes confusion among citizens. It is even more difficult if you have to solve the question of what to do with furniture and other bulky equipment, as well as mercury and fluorescent lamps, as well as household electronics and equipment.
