Spring clean for Nicosia

By a Staff Reporter

NICOSIA Municipality is launching its annual clean up of the capital on Monday.

The project will last until the end of June and during this time the Municipality will clean drainage channels, gutters, public places as well as public and private plots of land.

The project will include the general clearing of weeds, the cleaning of rubbish bins and the removal of unwanted objects.

The Municipality reminds the public that the cleaning of private dwellings and plots of land is the responsibility of the owners.

In cases where land and homeowners do not undertake the cleaning themselves by May 5, the Municipality will proceed with the programme anyway by law and charge a fee of £22 per plot.

The Municipality calls upon the public to remove any unwanted vehicles and furniture, which has been dumped in fields and by road sides and emphasises that the programme will benefit all of Nicosia’s inhabitants.

For further information contact the Health Services (22-753259) and the Cleaning Department (22-439345).
