Mixed Waste

The property manager may apply to the capital city for consent to use an underground or semi-underground container with a capacity of 3 m3 to 5 m3, subject to the conditions set out in Article 11(2) of Generally Binding Ordinance No. 6/2020 on the management of municipal waste and small construction waste in the territory of the capital of the Slovak Republic, Bratislava, as amended by GBO No. 11/2021.

The construction of the site for underground and semi-underground containers is at the expense of the property manager.

One underground or semi-underground container with a volume of 5 m3 and a removal interval of at least once a week for 200 to 240 persons is established for apartment buildings and other residential buildings. Above the stated number of people, the collection interval, or the number of underground containers, will be adjusted equivalently, while it is also possible to use an underground container with a volume of 3 m3 with a collection interval of once a week for 120 to 140 people.

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,

• hospitals, health facilities and social welfare facilities,
• indoor buildings for sports,
