2017-01-09
In 2015 we will continue to apply the System for separate collection of hazardous waste from the households. 2014 was extremely successful, we were still very popular among the citizens of Sofia.
The new schedule of Mobile Collection Point for 2015 can be found on the web sites of BalBok Engineering and Sofia municipality. 0700 11 750 is the familiar telephone number for inquiries and requests.
The first Mobile Collection Point for 2015 will be for Novi Iskar and Kremikovtzi regions, on 23 January. For the whole year there will be total of 21 points, including three three-day campaigns – in April, June and October.
The System for separate collection of hazardous waste from households, a joint effort of Sofia Municipality and BalBok Engineering, includes free collection of the waste from the home addresses of the citizens by request, and a Mobile collection point once a month; also providing transportation and packaging for safe transportation and subsequent treatment.
Following groups of hazardous waste from the households were collected: mercury and mercury containing equipment (eg., thermometers, mercury switches, etc.), varnish and paint materials, household cleaners and chemicals (including chemicals for pest control), contaminated packaging, pharmaceuticals (drugs with expired date of use) and other waste, which composition and characteristics pose a risk to human health and the environment.
For the application of the System, BalBok Engineering has been awarded an Innovative Enterprise of the Year in the area "Green Innovation" at the Tenth National Innovation Forum, held on December 16th, 2014 in Sofia.
