Under the sociological survey conducted by “Civilitas”, 27% of Yerevan residents think that the main problem in the town is garbage. Twelve companies deal with garbage collection in Yerevan. The garbage collection in the regions of Armenia is solved spontaneously with the help of the residents themselves with some exceptions only. The garbage occupies territories in rivers, gorges, forest territories and Lake Sevan. How much garbage we can find in our landfill sites? Where are hazardous medical wastes and plastic dumped? Whether we need garbage burning facilities? And eventually, what kind of measures are actually taken to solve the problem of garbage. EcoLur Press Club will host Hovhannes Aharonyan, Head of Community Facilities of Yerevan Municipality, and Armean Vermsihyan, an expert in environmental economy. The press conference will be held at EcoLur Press Club (49 Hanrapetutyan St.) at 12:00 p.m. on 18 October.
