ArmInfo. Immediate resolution of the situation in connection with garbage collection is not a priority for the city authorities. This is stated in a statement issued on August 9 by the Sanitek.
, the company said, adding that instead of the Municipality, Sanitek’s garbage containers were illegally removed and payments were not made, resulting in a situation control.
In addition, Sanitek hopes that in connection with the decision of the government on August 8 to appoint the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure as the authorized body in the field of organizing garbage collection and sanitary cleaning in the settlements of the republic, it will help to resolve the situation. Meanwhile, a meeting of the Council of Elders of Yerevan on the issue of garbage collection was held today in the Municipality. It should be noted that the problem of garbage collection has been acute in Yerevan since last summer. Yerevan Municipality and Sanitek cannot agree on the proper organization of waste collection, while the citizens are forced to endure, to put it mildly, the unpleasant consequences of this problem.
