Green Points Pegia

Green Points are household recycling centers for the collection of waste that can’t be put out for collection with household waste.

Green Points are aimed at the collection and recycling of special categories of materials and waste which are not accepted in landfills and which citizens are used to placing in bins with other household waste or is sometimes illegally dumped in the countryside.

At the Green Points there are special arrangements and areas where the citizens can place specific waste items such as paper, glass, grass clipping, furniture etc… (See the list of permitted items).

These points have been designated based in the population to be served at every point, the distance of the furthest home from the point and the time it takes the furthest citizen to carry waste from their house to the point.
The project is co-financed by the Cohesion Fund if the E.U.

Instruction upon arrival

When you arrive at the Green Point with your car, you will be greeted by a staff member who will check your waste that you want to dispose of and ask some details in order to complete a form regarding the goods you will dispose of. You will be given a photocopy of the form and then shown where you must take the waste items.

Around the area there are large metal bins and in front of every bin there is a sign with the item that can go inside that bin. There are also plastic bins of different sizes and colors and these have stickers on them showing what items can go in each bin.
The staff at the Green Point will guide you as to correct bins for your waste.

Citizen will not pay for taking their items to these points.
