  • Bishkek residents on Erkindik Boulevard lack garbage containers.
  • Municipal enterprise "Tazalyk" removed the existing containers about a month ago.
  • Residents are concerned about unmanaged waste accumulation, especially with summer approaching.

Residents of buildings No. 1 and 3 on Erkindik Boulevard in Bishkek are complaining about a lack of garbage containers, leading to unsanitary conditions.

According to the residents, two garbage bins were previously located between the buildings, serving both residents and nearby cafes, restaurants, and shops. However, due to the large volume of waste, these containers frequently overflowed. Approximately one month ago, the municipal enterprise "Tazalyk" removed all containers.

Residents report that the removal was due to some businesses not having contracts for waste disposal but continuing to use the public bins. "We pay regularly for waste removal, but now we don't know where to put our trash. Offices and commercial establishments are dumping waste directly onto the ground, creating piles of garbage. Summer is approaching, and this is the city center, yet the problem remains unresolved," the residents stated.

While the garbage has been temporarily removed, the issue of establishing a permanent waste collection point is still open. Residents are urging city services and responsible authorities to address the situation and ensure proper waste disposal for both the public and nearby commercial entities.
