By the end of this year, the number of garbage bins in Chisinau will be increased to 3,000. This is almost 1/3 of the necessary number, IPN reports.

Head of the General Public Amenities Division Petru Gontea, in the November 20 meeting of officials of Chisinau services and divisions, said there are now 2,000 garbage cans in Chisinau. But the city needs a total of 10,000 such cans.

Petru Gontea also said that money is needed to satisfy the needs and not only for purchasing trash cans, but also for keeping them in a good state. About 4,000 lei a year is spent on maintaining a garbage bin.
