December 7, 2024

Starting January 2025, the "Pay As You Throw" system will be implemented in the Municipality of Aradippou and gradually across Cyprus by 2026. The system requires the use of prepaid bags for residual waste collection, with specific prices for different sizes. Local authorities will conduct checks to ensure proper use of the bags, imposing fines for violations. Prepaid bags will be available at selected sales points.
