GARDEN WASTE
The Government operated site for
garden waste recycling [Green Point] has
now been opened at Akoursos, in an old quarry on the left hand
side of the road leading to Akoursos village. Turn left off the main road before Casa Bella Eleni. However, this site is only open on the following days:
Monday, Tuesday 0800-1600
Thursday, Friday 0800-1600
Saturday 0800-1400
Wednesday and
Sunday CLOSED
There is still a question mark over whether they will accept deliveries from 'businesses' and I understand some commercial vehicles are being turned away on the grounds that they are a business and need a waste permit. Further information follows on this point.
Options for garden waste:
1 Taken by the householder to the free site above at
Akoursos
2
Collection of up to 2 bags of
garden waste [excluding branches and tree cuttings] by the refuse
collectors. Note, however, that
priority will be given to household rubbish and garden waste may not always be
taken if refuse levels are higher than usual.
