Green Points Paphos
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.

Opening hours:
Summer hours (April to September):
Monday, Wednesday & Friday 8am-6pm.
Saturday, 9am-4pm.

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.

Have used the tip on the Akoursos road, very easy and the staff were very good. It's just such a shame that it isn't sign posted....

Unbelievable. You created a spam account on a Cyprus website just to promote a company in Australia.
