The Uniform Waste Segregation System has been in force since July 1, 2017according to which the colors of the bins are assigned to specific waste, e.g. blue for paper. This is intended to help, among others: with recycling of plastic or other recyclable and reusable elements, which reduces the amount of waste produced. Red buckets are little known, but there are indications that they will appear in increasing numbers in cities.
Red containers can most often be seen near pharmacies, larger stores or municipal waste collection points. They are often smaller than standard paper or glass baskets, although this is not a rule. They are used to collect harmful waste that could have a negative impact on the environmentincluding human health. Setting them is to minimize the risk of improper disposal of individual waste.
So, apart from yellow (metals and plastics), blue (paper), green (glass), brownish (bio-waste) and black (mixed waste) bins, you will increasingly see red bins. Many people will certainly use them.
