It should be noted that the district administrations in Mykolaiv have had their powers regarding the clearance of unauthorised rubbish dumps revoked . This task will now be handled by two contractors — the municipal enterprise «Mykolaivkomuntrans» and the municipal enterprise «Obrii-DKP».

We would also like to remind you 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 complex — there were not enough votes to pass the decision.

Prior to this, the tender procedure had been revised to take into account 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.
