Mixed Waste

Collecting containers

For the collection of mixed municipal waste, black plastic collection bins with a capacity of 120 l and 240 l and a container made of galvanised sheet metal or a black plastic bin with a capacity of 1 100 l are standardised in the collection system.

The number and type of collection containers and the collection interval for mixed municipal waste is to be determined on the basis of the registered number of persons and according to the actual waste production.

The cost of the collection bin/container is part of the local charge for municipal waste and minor construction waste, which is borne by OLO a.s.

The City will allow the use of a compression container if the property manager meets the following conditions:

provide a compression container at their own expense; the type of compression container must correspond to the collection technique of the authorised person,
provide appropriate space, in its use or custody, for the siting and handling of the compression container,
provide a 400 V electricity supply to the compression container site,
Mixed municipal waste will be processed in an incinerator within the territory of the capital city.

The capital city shall assess the compliance with the above conditions and notify the applicant of its opinion on the use of the compression container within 45 days of receipt of the application.

Prior to issuing an opinion, the capital city is to seek the opinion of the relevant borough on the use of the compression container.

Collection, transport and disposal of mixed municipal waste from the compression container is carried out by the company Odvoz a likvidácia odpadu (OLO) a.s. The collection interval is at least 1 time per week, regardless of the size and fullness of the container.

The manager of the following non-residential buildings and other residential buildings may request the use of a compression container:

hotels, motels, guesthouses and other short-stay accommodation,
buildings for administration and management, for banks and post offices,
buildings for trade and services,
transport and telecommunications buildings, stations, hangars, depots,
industrial buildings and warehouses,
buildings for public entertainment,
buildings for education, training and research,
hospitals, health facilities and social welfare facilities,
indoor buildings for sports,
other non-residential buildings, e.g., correctional facilities or barracks,
other residential buildings, e.g., children's homes, students’ homes, retirement homes and homeless shelters.

The compression container cannot be used for residential buildings, on housing estates, in public spaces without the consent of the owner, land manager.

Cleaning of container sites

Removal of pollution of the site by the municipal waste producers - owners or users of residential buildings - is the responsibility of the administrator, or the community of the residential building. Producers of municipal waste are obliged to deposit municipal waste in containers and collection bins designed for this purpose in such a way that they may be closed and municipal waste does not fall out of them.

The administrator of the residential building can arrange for the removal of large volume waste by OLO TAXI service for a fee. Information about this service can be found at: OLO a.s. ↗︎.
