Leskovac Installs 22 Semi-Underground Containers Worth 18 Million Dinars: Waste Management Revolution or Just Another Investment?
In the heart of Leskovac, a city known for its tradition and unique charm, 22 semi-underground containers for municipal waste have been installed. Each container boasts an impressive capacity of three cubic meters, with the total project value reaching a staggering 18 million dinars! Is this the beginning of an ecological revolution or just another project destined to be forgotten?
Where are the containers and what do they bring?
These containers are strategically placed across eight locations in the city, including school yards like the “Josif Kostić” Elementary School, the city park next to Hotel Beograd, and neighborhoods such as Dubočica and Bratmilovce. The clear goal is to better organize waste and make the city cleaner and more orderly.
Who is behind the project?
The project is implemented under the EU PRO PLUS program with support from UNOPS, with the contract signed back in July last year. The project budget is in dollars, with donor funds and contributions from the city of Leskovac. A special vehicle for emptying the containers is also expected to be procured, which will further facilitate waste management.
Is this really a step forward?
Leskovac, as one of the important cities in the interior of Serbia, shows readiness to tackle waste management issues. However, the question remains – will citizens and municipal services truly seize this opportunity to make the city cleaner, or will the containers end up as just another rarely used ornament?
What do the officials say?
City council member Vladimir Kostić emphasizes that this is just the beginning and that efforts to improve municipal waste management will continue. Mayor Goran Cvetanović and representatives of the EU and UNOPS highlight the importance of such projects for the city’s future and the environment.
What do you think?
Is Leskovac on the right path to become a model in waste management, or is this just another project that will soon be forgotten? Will citizens respect the new containers or treat them like ordinary bins? Share your thoughts, maybe your critique or praise will spark real change!
In any case, Leskovac has taken the first step – now let’s see if there will be more.
And hey, if you’ve already seen these containers in person, drop a comment – are they really useful or just another city story? Don’t stay silent, Leskovac is listening!
