The tubes for collecting municipal solid waste that are still used in some of the apartment buildings in the municipality of Chisinau will be replaced by platforms intended for the separate collection of waste near these blocks. A draft decision to this effect was adopted by the Chisinau Municipal Council on February 6, IPN reports.

The councilor of the Action and Solidarity Party Ina Coșeru, who drafted the decision, has told IPN that a study to determine the number of tubes existing in the city and the number of platforms that need to be built will be carried out before the launch of works and until the liquidation of the tubes. The study will be conducted by the General Public Amenities Division that will also recommend the necessary types of platforms.

All the activities will be carried out this year. The study will be completed by March 15 and the tubes are to be removed by July 31. The platforms should be erected by December 31.

A sum of 10 million lei was earmarked in the 2020 municipal budget for implementing the project.
