The “Autosalubritate” Directorate has received six new skip-type containers, intended for waste collection and transportation. Some of them have already been allocated to business agents in Chisinau, and the rest will be distributed according to needs, reports IPN.
The new containers each have a capacity of 20 cubic meters and are transported by trucks equipped with a hook loading system. According to municipal authorities, these will contribute to a more efficient collection and disposal of waste, and to the improvement of services provided by the municipal sanitation operator. So far, one container has been allocated to the Central Market, one has reached the Port Mall, and two have been distributed to the “Bucuria” factory.
According to the “Autosalubritate” Directorate, the six containers are part of a contract worth approximately 1.6 million euros for the supply of modern equipment for waste collection and transportation. As part of this contract, eight specialized vehicles for waste collection, three hook trucks for transporting skip-type containers, four specialized vehicles for rear-loading waste collection with a capacity of 10 cubic meters, and four specialized vehicles with a capacity of 16 cubic meters are also to be delivered.
The acquisition is made within the framework of the municipal project “Solid Waste Chisinau”, which has an estimated budget of about 26 million euros and is funded by the Chisinau City Hall, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the European Investment Bank, and the E5P Fund. The contract for the delivery of the equipment was signed in August 2025 and is expected to be executed by August 2026.
