In July 2025, the city of Vinnytsia launched its first Municipal Waste Management Center (MWMC) – a modern facility where residents can dispose of various types of household waste free of charge, including bulky waste, hazardous materials, old appliances, and items suitable for reuse.This center is an important milestone in developing local environmental infrastructure, demonstrating how a community can move from landfilling to responsible waste management. Vinnytsia is shaping a new culture of household waste handling, and this initiative could serve as an example for other Ukrainian communities seeking effective tools within the framework of the new waste management legislation.
