"In contrast to the past years when cows were greasing and hens
were scratching near the dustbins today the refuse is obligatorily
taken away in time. Yet some people have not given up their habit
of throwing the litter near the dustbin," Mrs Alina, inhabitant of
Heqimyan street, says.
Director of "Sanitary Purification" public non-commercial organization
Alexey Seiranyan assures of the proper implementation of waste disposal
and reports that there are more than 200 waste disposal posts with
700 dustbins in the capital. Waste disposal is performed every day
by means of 18 cars.
"The gathered waste is thrown away into the central dump near Berqadzor
village, Askeran region, where every day the refuse is covered with
a layer of soil by means of a tractor," A. Seiranyan noted in his
interview to Karabakh-open.info and added that in the nearest future
the central dump will be transported to another place.
The transportation of the central dump is conditioned by the future
exploitation of the airport.
However, not all inhabitants of the capital are satisfied with the
waste disposal. "It is two years I have lived in this street but I
have never carried out the litter to the dustbin as it is too far
from our house and both in rainy weather and in winter it becomes
extremely hard to carry the trash out," Gayane, an inhabitant of
Naberezhnaya street explains and adds that the inhabitants of the
street who own a car prefer to carry the refuse out by car.
The inhabitants of Hin Armenavan district have the same problem,
part of them cannot carry the trash out to the single place for it as
it is quite far away. According to A. Seiranyan however, they tried
to locate some dustbins in the district but each of the inhabitants
required it to be placed far from their house.
"As the inhabitants did not come to an agreement we had to locate
another dustbin near the railway station at a distance of 200-300
meters from the residential settlement," he noted.
On part of the trash that is poured into the River Karkar Seiranyan
assured that the area was under their control and the trash could
never be poured into the river as one of their employees watched the
place every day and gathered the litter.
Some of the inhabitants of the district assured that they throw the
trash in the area near the River Karkar as it was impossible to carry
it so far away. "In spite of this we are demanded to pay for waste
disposal whereas the company does not perform its duties properly",
a woman of 55 years old says.
