Re: “pay as you throw”

The new recycling process is now up and running in Polis, very easy just leave the bags which are for cardboard and plastic/tins on the pavement the night before collection. You are supplied with free bags to start with and replacements you can buy in the supermarkets.

Re: Plumber/drainage specialist - help please

Hi, the 4” size pipes you have are more than adequate for your toilet waste to septic tank, sounds like the existing pipe is not properly graded or vented. Hydrojet should be able to advise.

Re: Boosters for non-GESY.

Went this morning, arrived 7.45, 60 people in front of us, luckily a small number of us were randomly picked to go to the rooms allocated for appointments out by 09.00 car park chaos and large queue outside the hospital when we left.

Re: Best airport parking

Just used Park n Fly,€30 for 10 days, went to start car battery dead no problem though they had it started in a minute, if it had been at the airport I would have had to call someone in, worth bearing in mind.

Re: Complex Bank Accounts

Legally you’re required to have a maintenance account for your complex, ours is with the Hellenic Bank was reasonably straightforward to open once they’ve received all the relevant information required, does take a few visits. You can have more than one card holder which is a plus point.

Re: Cost of COVID vaccine

You can’t pay for the vaccination, if your non GESY you can apply by email or letter for a vaccination appointment the process is very good. Details and forms can be found on www.pio.gov.cy
