As we are already mid-season, with hundreds of thousands of visitors flock to the island, the Manager of the Department of Environment and Cleaning wishes once again to draw attention to all residents and ask for the activation and sensitization, in order to help Council to effectively do it’s work.

For these reasons, please:

■ The garbage must be packed in bags solid, well tightened/closed and placed always in the evening (22:00 – 24:00) inside the bins.

■ The residents are asked not to leave debris cleaning and pruning vegetation on roads and other public areas.
According to Article 6 of the Rules of Sanitation of the City, the management is at the risk and expense of the owner, possessor or occupier of the site.

Also please:

■ Do not drop small objects in the streets. Small items should be placed In existing litter bins.
■ Use products environmentally friendly.
