For residents of the Korabelnyi district of Mykolaiv, there are plans to increase waste collection charges levied by the municipal utility company «Obrii-DKP».

The relevant draft decision will be considered at the next meeting of the city council’s executive committee.

It is stated that the changes were initiated by the municipal enterprise «Obrii-DKP» to ensure proper sanitary conditions in the city. The new tariffs relate to the collection and transport of household waste.

According to the draft resolution, the following rates for waste collection are proposed:

• mixed household waste — 302.64 hryvnias per cubic metre (the current rate is 271.81 hryvnias/cubic metre)
• bulky waste — 561.48 hryvnias per cubic metre (the current rate is 444.93 hryvnias/m³)
• renovation waste — 536.77 hryvnias per cubic metre (the current rate is 427.74 hryvnias/m³)

If the decision is approved, the new tariffs will come into effect on 1 May this year. The municipal enterprise must inform consumers of the changes.

As is known, from 1 January 2025, the following tariffs will apply to the municipal enterprise Mykolaivkomuntrans:

• collection and transport of mixed (solid) household waste — 246.11 hryvnias per cubic metre;
• collection and transport of bulky household waste — 277.84 hryvnias per cubic metre;
• collection and transport of construction and renovation waste — 277.84 hryvnias per cubic metre.

It should be noted that at the session on 26 March, members of the Mykolaiv City Council were unable to approve the updated operating procedures for the household waste sorting facility — there were not enough votes to pass the decision.

Prior to this, the tender procedure had been revised to incorporate the working group’s recommendations. It was endorsed by members of the executive committee at a meeting on 25 March.

Earlier, Ihor Nabatov told NikVesti that the terms of the contract had changed slightly. It will now last for no more than 15 years, but with the option to extend it for a further 10 years upon expiry.
